Never Forget


The bow of the $1 billion ship, built in Louisiana, contains about 7.5 tons of steel from the fallen towers.

That is one cool (albeit mean) looking ship!

We have an acquaintance who is a retired Navy Chief Petty Officer who says once you get through all the fluff and stuff about this ship thats is just a piece of crap that cost a lot of money to build. He says he would never serve on her nor would he allow any family member to be a part of the crew. I take him at his word since he knows a lot about this stuff.
