Squires participating in USS New York ceremonies

NORWICH – A 2007 Norwich High School graduate is among an elite honor guard selected to represent the United States Marine Corps at the dedication of the USS New York this week.
PFC John Paul Squires, son of Julie Squires and grandson of Mary Ann Squires of Norwich, was one of four Marines from Camp Lejeune, N.C. picked to represent the Corps at the welcoming and dedication ceremonies in New York City this week.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will represent the administration at Saturday’s commissioning of a Navy assault ship built with steel from the felled World Trade Center towers.
The USS New York arrived in its namesake city on Monday. The bow of the $1 billion ship, built in Louisiana, contains about 7.5 tons of steel from the towers destroyed by hijacked jetliners in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
