 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.

My heartfelt remembrance,
My fellow Brothers and Sisters, You are not fogotten. Police, Fire, EMT….those living and those gone…You are my heroes. The dispatchers who heard but couldn’t see….you are in my prayers.
Those are the days the Nation avowed not to forget you. I have not as well. I work every day in service to our nation’s citizens, but you have already paid the ultimate sacrifice. My lifetime of service could never measure against your sole contribution. I weep on occasion but remember often of you. Thank you. Your families are looked after. Your sons and daughters are blossoming. Rest in peace and rejoice in our Lord’s Kingdom. Yours will follow in their time and be comforted.
