PRESS ADVISORY Sep 09, 2004
Thursday, September 9, 2004
Secretary of the Navy Gordon England will name two of the Navy’s
newest amphibious transport dock ships (LPD 24 and 25) at a press conference on
Thursday, Sept. 9, 2004 at 3:30 p.m. EDT in the Pentagon Auditorium, Room
5A1070.
England will be joined by 9-11 families and Congressional leaders
when he names ships to honor communities and individuals affected by attacks of 9-11.
Media representatives without a Pentagon building pass who are
interested in attending this event must have proof of affiliation and two forms
of photo identification.
I thought this to be a nice gesture, especially on this solace day of remembrance! May all those who have and are fighting this war, and bringing it back to the terrorists know that some of us are still here, remembering, knowing what has happened, what must be done, and thankful for those who take our place to do it!
