USS New York Gets Commissioned Today[ November 7, 2009 – 10:24 am]by Jeff Posted in » National
Today, the United States Navy will officially commission LPD 21, the USS New York.
It was built from steel from the rubble of the Twin Towers, and it is a Marine transport.
There is no better way to pay back the enemy than to land a bunch of US Marines on their doorstep.
Also, I just saw this on the USSNY website: Similar ships, the LPD-24 Arlington and LPD-25 Somerset, are being built with materials recovered from the Sept 11 Pentagon and Flight 93 sites, respectively. Each of these ships carries 699 Marines in normal mode, up to 800 in a surge. In other words, once these three Sept 11 LPDs come online, there will be 2,097 Marines they can bring to the enemy at a moment’s notice, and 2400 in surge form.
The USS New York: Strength Forged Through Sacrifice – Never Forget
The Albany Herald Gets a New Website[ November 7, 2009 – 7:18 am]by Jeff Posted in » General
Just when I was starting to get used to the layout they had after their most recent change several months ago, they go out and redesign. They maintained their traditional color scheme and pop-up nav, but brought much of the site more inline with current web themes.
Overall, I think I’ll grow to like it.
But there is a slight problem for us… with this redesign, they are redoing all of their links… meaning many of our links out to them will probably no longer work. I plan on updating the 2010 Campaigns page today, but after that (which may take a while), I’ll need to get to fixing those links – and I could use your help.
If you don’t mind helping me, I would really appreciate it if you could go back as far as you wish into this site and put in the comments here any article that has a link to the Herald. Even if you don’t know how to put the actual link here, if you can give me the title of the post I can find it. I’ll then try to find the corresponding article on the Herald’s new site and fix it.
Thanks!!
