Honoring Those Who Serve

As we approach the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy, I can’t help but remember the intensity of that infamous day. As a collective nation, we held our breath, waiting for any scrap of information we could glean from any source at all. We watched any TV screen we could find, praying for the survivors, the families of the lost, and for the heroes of the day, the emergency crews and military personnel on hand. If not for the brave men and women pledged to the defense of our country who charged into that maelstrom of destruction, the number of lives lost could have been significantly higher. For this reason, and for many others, please join me in thanking the people that give of themselves unselfishly to defend our country, at home and abroad. We must always recognize the people who respond first to the scene, those that put their lives on the line to protect us and our freedoms.
