NEVER FORGET

“And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The LORD Is My Banner,”
Exodus 17:15

I received this News in an E-mail message today.

Our new warship
fabricated from steel recovered from the
World Trade Center:

USS New York 5

USS New York

USS New York 3

 

From the anonymous E-mail:

USS New York was built with 24 tons of scrap steel from the
World Trade  Center

It is the  fifth in a new class of warship –
designed for missions that  include special
operations against terrorists.  It will carry a 
crew of 360 Sailors and 700 Combat-Ready Marines
to be  delivered ashore by helicopters and
assault craft.

Steel from the World Trade Center was melted
down in a foundry in Amite, LA, to
cast the ship’s bow section.  When it  was poured
into the molds on Sept 9, 2003, ‘those big rough 
steelworkers treated it with total reverence,’
recalled Navy Capt.  Kevin Wensing, who was there.

‘It was a spiritual moment for everybody there.’

Junior Chavers, foundry operations manager, said that
when the trade center steel first arrived, he
touched it with his hand and the ‘hair on my
neck stood up.’  ‘It had a big meaning to it for 
all of us,’ he said.  ‘They knocked us down.  They
can’t keep us  down.  We’re going to be back.’

The  ship’s motto?
‘NEVER FORGET’ 

Please keep this going so everyone can see what we are made
of in this country!

“What shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Romans 8:31

“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39

“…if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
