9/11, A DAY THAT WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AND A DAY USS GEORGE WASHINGTON HONORS WITH
A REMEMBRANCE CEREMONY ON BOARD IN TRIBUTE OF THOSE AMERICANS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES DURING
THE TERRORIST ATTACKS.
"I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER BOTH TRAGEDIES AND LANDMARKS THAT HAPPEN IN OUR
HISTORY"

NOT ONLY AFFECTED THOSE WHO DIED, BUT THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS AS WELL
