Chances are you have vivid memories of September 11th 2001. This is a day which will be remembered as a tragic day for our country in which thousands of lives were lost and scores of lives forever changed. Today we remember those lost in the tragedy.
Today we remember and pay tribute to those who have fought hard and given their all for the cause of freedom both here and abroad. Your service to our country is what allows us to remain the land of the free.
Today we say thank you to all those who serve as a first responder. You willingly put yourself in harms way to serve members of your community, and for that we are grateful beyond words. May we never take our freedom for granted and always remember those who help ensure it endures.
