We Remember 9/11

I wanted to take a moment to reflect on how life has changed over the last 5 years since 9/11 and how many sacrified their own lifes to save others. I'd like to thank my fellow service members who vigilantly stand guard on our shores to deter the threat of terrorism in this country and the long hours they work so you and your family can feel safe to carry on with daily life. I'd especially like to thank everyone who has or will be serving in Iraq and other middle eastern theatres. You don't really appreciate the freedoms we take for granted every day until you see first hand the life these soldiers are forced to lead. They give their all for us. A bad day at work is no comparison to trying to get some sleep in a trench, eating little, working long hours, and getting shot at for a lot less than what most of us make at regular jobs.

We salute you members of the military, and state and local response services (Police+Fire) for your dedication and continued service to the community.
