I was the Director/Cameraman on this short background documentary about the new Navy/Marine Corps ship Arlington (LPD 24). It was christened in Pascagoula on March 26, 2011 by Mrs. Joyce Rumsfeld.

The ship is named for the city of Arlington, Va., honoring the 184 victims in the air and on the ground who lost their lives when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. The ship also honors the military and civilian employees, emergency, fire and rescue personnel of Arlington County and surrounding communities who provided the critical assistance after the attack.
