Never Forget 9/11
As both a military veteran and firefighter, today holds a special place in my heart. On this day in 2001, our world changed forever. We remember the courage of those who ran toward danger, not away from it—firefighters, police officers, first responders, and everyday heroes who put their lives on the line for others. That kind of bravery and selflessness is something I carry with me every single day.
For those of us who have served, whether in the armed forces or in emergency services, this day is a reminder of the weight of sacrifice and the power of unity. We stood shoulder to shoulder with our brothers and sisters in arms, whether on the battlefield or in the firehouse, ready to protect and serve.
To the families who lost loved ones, to those who continue to feel the ripple effects of that tragic day, and to my fellow service members and first responders—today, we remember you. We honor you. We stand with you.
Let us never forget the lives lost, the families shattered, and the enduring spirit of resilience that rose from the ashes.
