Today is September 11th which marks the 24th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the field in Pennsylvania in 2001.  Today we remember all the lives that were lost and honor the courageous first responders and everyday citizens who stepped up to show bravery and unity in the face of a tragedy. As we reflect, please remember the importance of service, kindness and compassion that emerged from communities unifying the nation that day.
