 USS New York (LPG21)

 

 

Out of tyranny and terrorist

Destruction,

A creation was born,

From the sacred ashes

Of Ground Zero

Where left behind

In the hollow site

Of our memories

Still lies so many Heroes.

A STRONG, PROUD WORK..GIVING CREDENCE TO A STRONG, PROUD NATION...WHO BUILT A 'MOVING MEMORIAL' THAT ATTESTS TO THE MANY STRONG PROUD AMERICANS THAT LOST THEIR LIVES ON THE FATEFUL DAY. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

William, a stirring, yet haunting, tribute to a
majestic ship born of the steel that strengthens
our nation's resolve to rebuild the towers in our
hearts and memories.

A beautiful and heartbreaking reminder of a wound that never heals, William. Is this the ship that was made from metal from the Twin Towers? To forget what happened is to welcome it again. We must stand staunch and tall in the face of the enemy and we must check our ranks, for the enemy now seems to have made its way within them.
Take care,
Sherry

I've missed you. I love the phrase "hollow site of our memories"--now we have something concrete to hold them. I am still mystified why all the other memorials are so tied up in red tape. Good write, William.

She sails proudly like a Phoenix arisen from the ashes, a constant reminder that vigilence is never wasted. Fitting tribute, hope you are well.

Such a beautiful poem in tribute to an honorable new ship. Amazing that this ship was made from the steel. It is a very happy/sad occasion, but one that will definitely make the history books.
Thank you William for being who you are,
Peace, love, and light,

Yes indeed! I watched CNN as she entered New York harbor.
I'm part of a Navy family too. My father served on the USS Savannah, my uncle served on the USS O'Bannon and my nephew is ccurrently serving on the Aircraft Carrior USS Boxer.

Thank you for being one of us all.
