John,
As someone who served as a police officer for over 25 years, the events of September 11, 2001, hold a particularly profound significance for me. Today, as we commemorate another year since that tragic day, I am reminded of the courage, selflessness, and dedication of all the brave firefighters, police officers, and EMTs who gave their lives in service of others.
I have spent a significant part of my life in the line of duty, and I know firsthand the risks that come with the job. The men and women who responded on 9/11 knew those risks too, but they didn’t hesitate. They ran towards the danger, towards the unknown, to save as many lives as possible. Their heroism in the face of unimaginable adversity is a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit.
Today, let us honor their memory by reflecting on their sacrifices and expressing our deepest gratitude to all first responders who continue to serve and protect our communities every day. Their commitment to our safety and well-being is unwavering, and we owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be fully repaid.
As we remember and pay tribute to the heroes of 9/11, let us also recommit ourselves to building a better, safer, and more just world for everyone. Together, we can honor their legacy and ensure that their sacrifices were not in vain.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Tim Alexander
Candidate For Congress NJ-02
