God Bless the U.S.A.

In honor of those who were murdered thirteen years ago today.

In honor of the police and firefighters who went out to save lives and lost their own.

In honor of the survivors who bear the scars of that day.

In honor of our military who sacrificed life, limb, personal comfort and family.

In honor of the families of the fallen.

We remember you, we mourn with you, we honor you.

Thank you.

An especial thank you to my husband Danny, who served in the Marine Corps after 9/11 and was deployed twice; my cousin M., NYPD and USN (two deployments); my sister-in-law H., USA-National Guard; my brother-in-law B., USAF-Reserve; and my neighbors, Mr. C. and Mr. B., USA-National Guard, for their multiple deployments and countless sacrifices.
