The USS New York was christened on 1 March. The ship, a 684-foot amphibious transport vessel, has the leading edge of its bow made from steel girders salvaged from Ground Zero. The ship's motto is Strength Forged Through Sacrifice. Never Forget."If it takes those who would guard the streets of heaven to follow evil into the gates of hell, they will come from ships like the New York," Marine Gen. Robert Magnus told those gathered at the ceremony.
Rico says that's a reference to the old saying that Marines don't die, they just 'receive orders to guard the streets of Heaven'. He would also suggest to those terrorists interested in visiting their 72 virgins that they can do that quicker by attacking this New York target than the old one...
