Reflecting on 9/11

Today we remember all of the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks on our nation. That day is one that I will never forget. It changed our society forever.

No words can adequately express the sorrow I feel for the families who lost a loved one on that terrible day. The courage of the firemen, police officers, and first responders that day is still very humbling to me. They saved the lives of many that day, and so many of our emergency services workers, NYPD, NYFD, and Port Authority police lost their lives in those horrible events.

It has been 12 years since that tragic day, but we will always remember, and we have a responsibility to teach the generations to follow about the attacks and the events of that day. We have children now who were not even born when the attacks took place; which is one of the reasons why I think that 9/11 should be a national holiday spent in remembrance and service to others.

God bless the victims and may they rest in peace. I will continue to pray for peace in this world and an end to hatred and violence.
