President Bush is making one of his last visits to New York City as President to formally rededicate the Intrepid museum this Veterans Day.
���
Thousands of visitors are expected to gather at the aircraft carrier's newly rebuilt pier on Manhattan's West Side.
���
Bush will mingle with some 2,500 war veterans aboard the World War II carrier.
The ship was recently returned to its Hudson River site after a 19-month, $120 million overhaul that added more planes to its aircraft collection and updated its museum displays.
��
White House Press Secretary Dana Perino says Bush will pay tribute to those who served on the Intrepid - and those he calls a "new generation of heroes" serving in the war on terror.
Veterans Day is celebrated on Nov. 11 in honor of the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I - at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918.
NOTE: Alternate Side Parking regulations will be suspended on Tuesday, November 11 for holiday observance of Veterans Day. All other regulations, including parking meters, remain in effect. Government offices and courts are closed, and�NYC public schools will be closed and there will be no regular mail delivery. Additionally, there will be no garbage or recycling collection, or street cleaning.
