In memory of those who perished and in gratitude for those who serve.

We grieve for them and for their families and we identify. We think of our own heart-wrenching losses that are not lived out in the public eye, but are as raw, mysterious, and troubling for us as they are for the families of those in the news.

We pause to remember that today is the 13th anniversary of that day when 3,000 innocent souls lost their lives and we, as Americans, lost our innocence forever.

And we are truly grateful for all of our brave uniformed warriors who serve to protect us, our values and the integrity of our culture. Forgive but do not forget. Live in love and gratitude.
