On 9.11.01, the cloudless September sky of thirteen years ago is forever etched into my memory. I drove home not fully comprehending what I’d seen on the TV while at work. Our family was fortunate not to have lost anyone on 9/11/01, but we grieved for those who did. We grieved for our country. My son, who was only six at the time, vividly remembers that day and those that followed. We didn’t attempt to hide what happened from him. He is always the first in the family to remind us the anniversary is upon us. He will never forget and neither should any American.

History repeats itself and we must always maintain vigilance against enemies foreign and domestic. Today I’d like to thank our military, intelligence agencies and public safety communities for maintaining watch.  GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
