The September 11 terrorist attacks remind us of our patriotic debt to those who have fought for our freedom aboard ships like the USS North Carolina. We feature one man’s connection with the warship: “Charles Paty’s eyes grow soft when he talks about the ship and how much it means to him. ‘I love the old thing.
