“The commander seemed to be really excited to get it, the bugle,” said Raymond Reynolds. “He said it’s almost like having a living piece of history, because we know it was part of that crew and ship, and to bring it on board was an honor.”

God Bless the Reynolds family, the dad for recognizing where the bugle needed to be after 9-11 and the family for persevering in making it so. Bravo Zulu.

Does anyone know where and when the ship is moored in NYC?

That’s terrific! It’s perfect that a piece of the old ‘New York’ is going to be on the new ship of the same name.
