Kirsten, Thank you for sharing. I wish with all my heart I could be there. I am sorry your son wasn't able to attend.

Susan, I got up this morning at 3:00 am to watch Fox and Friends. I recorded the program and will have to go through the recording to find your son. Lucky him, the girls are very pretty. :)

Hi other USS New York Moms. Thought I'd report in for those who weren't able to attend the dinner here in New York this evening for families & crew. We toured the Tribute center, and my group had a guide/volunteer who lost her husband on 9/11. She did a wonderful job. Of course, it is very emotional. Then we went up to the 49th floor of the newly built World Trade Center building 7 for dinner. One side of the building looks directly down on the construction site for the new world trade center. My son wasn't able to attend due to being on watch duty, but it was nice to be there anyway and meet other sailors and their families. We had a few speakers and a nice celebration of the USS New York.

You can plug in Fox5 and Friends into your browser and then click on the site, scroll down and you can play the segment at your leisure. The USO girls were there handing out Yankee t-shirts as well. They cut the tape just as the one in the grey dress(Miss USO) sat down on my son's lap-LOL! And with that I will end the story-LOLOLOL!

When I lived in NY I was never a fan of Giuliani, that is why we live in South Carolina now

Hey I had a hard time spelling it when he was the mayor and now I have trouble with Bloomberg-thats why I moved to NJ-LOL! Thanks for the spelling correction!
Connie Comment by Connie on November 5, 2009 at 3:50pm
That is great. I will watch the Fox and Friends tonight and hope to see it. By the way the former mayor of New York name is Giuliani.

FYI Moms! FOX5 and Friends news station has some great videos aboard the ship. My son told me he was in the row of sailors this am and sent me a pix with him and former Mayor Juliano this AM. Unfortunately I missed the segment but am hoping it will be posted to the website soon! Have a great day!

Welcome Aboard! Congratulations to all, especially the sailors on the USS New York. I am from Louisiana and my son is on the USS Harry S. Truman in Norfolk, VA. I join you in celebrating this great ship (it was built in Louisiana)! I have heard stories about touching the steel as it was received at the shipyard. What an amazing ship-she will be carrying a message to the world from the United States. "America's Navy" IS TRULY "A Global Force for Good". Thank you!

Good evening all. I cold hardly wait to get hgome from work today to see more of the coverage on the news. Now mind you I left the room with the Yankee game on right now, (they're not doing so hot at the moment) Now I am a Yankee fan and I know there is also ny primaries coming up, but to have to wait till almost 20 minutes into the news to see this. I was really surprised !!

It was quite a sight.. even on TV.
Proud mom of Lawrence - I will be there Sunday 11/8 probably by 8AM as it will be crazy I am sure. II saw some local NY sailors interviewed. You can feel their pride.
Gloria - will your procedure be outpaitent. What Hosp. I will talk to you before them I am sure but best of luck with it.
Bak to the game for now - I will check again later
Suzan Comment by Suzan on November 2, 2009 at 2:14pm
Thank you! I enjoyed the media coverage especially the guffaw from Channel 5-FOX re 21 gun salute. They were waiting to hear big cannons go off and missed the 7x3 gun salute-LOL! When I saw the wake behind the ship as it started to move and the news anchors were saying they were waiting for the salute-somebody missed the boat(or rather the ship!)I did get to hear the bagpipes (my fav) playing though even if was faint. I was dismayed that it was a passing note of interest on other channels especially my favorite ABC7. The NYC marathon and Yankee game got more coverage-oh well! We're still NAVY proud!
