Country Music Will Never Forget
4/23/2008 | Kasey Bell

With the seventh anniversary of September 11th 2001 approaching, Country Music artists are doing their part to make sure people never forget.Many of Countrys biggest artists have come together to make the upcoming album Never Forget, a September 11th tribute featuring mostly new and original songs from the artists. Some of the stars on the album include Tanya Tucker, George Jones, Pam Tillis, Tracy Lawrence and others.Two of the CDs other contributors, Rebecca Lynn Howard and Charlie Daniels, already debuted their songs at the launching of New York in Louisiana in early March. Rebecca sings the title track, while Charlie performs a song called USS New York.
This ship stands for everything the music included on the album represents, said Sherry Johnson, co-owner of Seasong Records, which is releasing the album.

The commemorative CD will be available on August 26th of this year in stores and on all digital download sites. Proceeds from the albums sales will go to the Hope for the Warriors Foundation, a charity that helps servicemen and women who have returned from battle with great injuries.

The future USS New York LPD-21 under construction at Northrop Grumman Ship Systems’ shipyard in Avondale, LA, will be the fifth amphibious transport dock of the San Antonio class. The ship was named New York after the state and incorporates in its construction steel salvaged from the World Trade Centers. Her ship motto is "Never Forget." "We're very proud that the twisted steel from the WTC towers will soon be used to forge an even stronger national defense," New York Gov. George Pataki spoke in 2002. "The USS New York will soon be defending freedom and combating terrorism around the globe, while also ensuring that the world never forgets the evil attacks of Sept. 11 and the courage and strength New Yorkers showed.” This will be the seventh U.S. ship named New York.
