Today, we will hold our moment of silence for 30 seconds.  We will reserve this time for the remembrance of the workers, the police officers, the firefighters, emergency responders, and military men and women who lost their lives on 9/11 and the War on Terror.  Please join me in 30 seconds to remember those individuals and to hope that a moment like 9/11 never happens again.  We will start our moments of remembrance now.

Sad Fact of the Day: Nineteen years ago, approximately 3,000 people were killed at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Flight 93.  These attacks were cowardly perpetuated and focused on our freedom here in the United States.  Let us remember the slogan that came out of the attacks, “United We Stand.”  We are so fortunate that we live in the greatest country on earth and can devote a day of remembrance to those victims and look towards the future with hope!!!
