NEW YORK – A historic U.S. Coast Guard Cutter that helped to save more than half a million people from the terror attacks in New York on Sept. 11, 2001 could now go to a country, which openly supports Islamic terrorism.
TAMPA, Fla. – A historic Coast Guard cutter from 9/11 that was set to be sold to Indonesia might be headed back to the United States, according to sources inside the U.S. State Department, as it appears that plans for the sale to the Republic of Indonesia have unraveled.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The effort to stop a historic Coast Guard cutter, which oversaw rescue efforts on 9/11, from being sold to the Republic of Indonesia reached a significant milestone Wednesday by receiving more than 10,000 signatures on a Change.org petition asking the Biden administration to stop the sale.
TAMPA, Fla. – Congressional representatives from Florida and New York submitted a letter to the U.S. State Department Friday in an effort to stop the sale of a historic Coast Guard cutter that was instrumental in overseeing the evacuation of more than half a million people from lower Manhattan following the terror attacks on the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
WOW! I am so grateful and honored to announce that we already have nearly 6,000 signatures helping to save the Coast Guard Cutter Adak. This is quite impressive considering we just launched the Change.org petition five days ago.
TAMPA, Fla. (April 20, 2021) – The U.S. State Department under the Biden administration is preparing to transfer ownership of the Coast Guard cutter that oversaw federal maritime security and rescue operations in New York Harbor on Sept. 11, 2001, despite efforts by a Tampa-based non-profit organization to obtain the ship to turn it into a museum and memorial.
However, organizers with the non-profit believe there is still hope to save the ship.
