Traveler at the Commissioning of the USS New York
We attended the commissioning of the USS New Yorkon Saturday morning, what an huge honor!
This is the sixth ship to bear the name, the New York. She is made with actual steel from the World Trade Centers and her motto is Strength Forged Through Sacrifice, Never Forget.
Heading off early to the event- the security is really tight!
I think you can let me off here...
First we attended a reception on the USS Intrepid, an aircraft carrier which served in WWII and was hit by Kamikaze planes! The Intrepid is now a wonderful museum.
A jet on the intrepid.
I met this cute little dog- she is a Service Dog! Her name is Millie May and she senses seizures in her owner before they occur. What a smart girl! I spent a great deal of time talking with her...
Outside for the ceremony, there goes the Color Guard!
Interesting… I might try some of this on my blog, too. It’s quite interesting how you sometimes stop being innovative and just go for an accepted solution without actually trying to improve it… you make a couple of good points.
