September 11, is a day of remembrance for those that lost their lives, and for all of those who gave their lives. We Remember. We must never forget. 

This was a day that brought America to get knees, but also brought us all together standing as one. 

We  Remember, We Honor all those who rushed into those burning buildings, We honor those who fought back on the plane, and we  Honor those who service tirelessly every day for our safety and our freedoms.

 You will never be forgotten.

Thank you for your sacrifices.
