NEW YORK, NY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
This morning was no ordinary commute!
On 09/11 2001 I witnessed first-hand the terror, the horror, the sound, the smell, and the collapse of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
Memories of that nature never leave you – the personal stories including our own!
This morning on my usual commute to Manhattan, (as timing would have it) I arrived at the PATH Exchange Place Station for my commute amidst much ‘emotion’. Right outside of the site of the former Twin Towers, the USS NEW YORK sailed up the Hudson . . . stopped for a moments silence from whence she came, and then to the eerie sounds of the Bagpipes playing ‘ Amazing Grace’, she stopped to pay respect to her birth-place before continuing up the Hudson River.
Welcome Home USS NEW YORK – you are most welcome back in the city where amongst chaos and fear, you were conceived in 2002.
WELCOME – you are home!
Stay a while . . . we want you here! And when you leave, may the 'winds' guide you to safety.
