Personal Story

" and join us right now. He's governor Pataki of New York the former governor of this great state and -- and his governor that this was actually in your idea. To name this ship the USS New York cotton that come."

" It's -- you know this deal and that yes and I'll never forget it you know after September 11. Every day I was down in lower Manhattan just walking a -- with the family members in the firefighters and the construction workers and everytime I was there right near the same thing we have to go get them. We have to go after them we can't let them get away with -- so I was thinking. Certainly we're going to build a memorial we're going to honor that site. But happily be a part of going after those terrorists who attacked our country so badly and we just came up with the idea let's have a surface warship. That would be engaged in the war on terror and call of the USS New York now that are you look at it right there."

" surface warship is important you wrote this a letter to be secretary of the navy Gordon England said. Quote I understand the unusual nature. On this request given that the name of states is presently reserved for submarines well we wanted to be proud to have a summary -- for New York. I believe in any other surface ship would bring special recognition of the sacrifices New Yorkers and maybe in their war on terror. Hey governor you that is such a good point and the motto of the ship is never forget friend has just proudly sales around the world. People will never forget about what happened in New York on that day in 2001."

" Absolutely and I'm proud of the fact that the brave men and woman behind us are taking the war to our enemies who want to attack us again. On the USS new York and as Brian mentioned you know what about sports news. Steel of the towers that sun. Still emotional to me and I understand the emotion for everyone who comes on the server serves on the ship never forget we have to make sure they never have the opportunity to do it."

" What I'm costly -- that is coming men and women Texas Georgia from California."

" They feel as though they're fighting for the attacks in new York and they gonna come back and see what the World Trade Center once stood."

" But it often take a mentos into battle with then we'll send flag still flew in Kabul. And send them back to New York GLU amazed at the synergy to a -- thousands of miles away."

" I'm very proud of the fact that people don't forget and I've gotten some money letters from places like Kabul or from. But -- Fallujah in Iraq from our soldiers saying we're here for you. We're here for those who died on September 11 and now this ship will stand as that and honor their memory and and honor the great freedom of this country for a long time -- we're all proud of so governor at that time you of course were serving as governor of New York. Political aspirations down the road I know there's been a lot of talk about you running for the Senate he's not a commercial break then you're gonna make a decision before January -- Right so that's not today. Perhaps this report. -- it is but today we're honoring those who put their. Lives on the line to defend our freedom and we can talk about politics amber though joy it's about politics as it relates to this are you surprised that this the ship before they finish the memorial now I'm not you know the memorial will be done by September 11 of the tenth anniversary and Brian I think the most important thing. Is that it is being done right it will be the most moving tribute I think. Anywhere in this country are you convinced of that because you are not involved an outcry. I am so proud of what is happening at that site. And I think the most important thing is that those of us who were there on September 11. Are going to appreciate the magnitude of the loss and occurs that we brought together wouldn't that day. But future generations people who weren't even born on September 11 2001. Are going to see this site. And understand what happened there and that's what matters still to be able to convey that the emotions it today they. Tremendous strength of our country in the face of terror to future generations we are never going to forget this should never forgets we're gonna honor the memory. For generations to come Murray had governor George Pataki of New York we thank you very much for joining us live on what is -- One business just pictures are just. We're very proud of him.
