Huh?

I love our military!  I honor those lost on 9/11 in the Towers.  Is it just me, or is this just kind of tacky?

Tiffany Registry Offers Gifts for the USS New York

Want to honor a loved one or see your name on a $2,800 Chippendale tray to be used on the U.S. Navy’s newest warship? Well, now’s your chance.

A Tiffany & Co. gift registry has been established for the USS New York, which was built with more than seven tons of steel from the World Trade Center and will be commissioned on Nov. 7. Interested buyers can commemorate a service member, a victim who died on Sept. 11 or even themselves by purchasing and engraving any of the 200-plus pieces up for sale.

I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but wouldn’t the best way to honor those lost is to rebuild those buildings?

    True.  Very sad that anyone thought this was a good idea.  :(
