Just a week ago I was visiting New York and seeing some old friends. As I snapped a picture of a changed skyline my heart was heavy with the thoughts of how the world has changed since that fateful day five years ago.
I hope that everyone takes a moment today to remember all those that perished in the attacks and their families who were left behind. Additionally, my thoughts turn to the men and women both here and abroad who are out there putting their lives on the line to help keep us safe. From the military members and emergency personnel, to the people behind the scenes that often go unmentioned, thank you all for your sacrifices that allow us to continue to live free in this great country.
