COMMENTS: Too Young to Remember the Old Skyline
The photo-op of the crew of the USS New York in dress blues saluting Ground Zero as the ship steamed through New York Harbor past the Statue of Liberty inspired reports from CBS' Jim Axelrod and ABC's David Wright. The prow of the amphibious transport is cast from seven tons of steel that was retrieved from the rubble of the World Trade Center after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. That was eight years ago, ABC's Wright reminded us: "A lot of these sailors and Marines are too young to remember the old skyline of lower Manhattan. They were just schoolkids when the Twin Towers came down. For them, 9/11 is not so much the day everything changed. It is simply the world they grew up in."
