[1]Lucas Kunce for U.S. Senate

John,

One of my heroes growing up in Jeff City, a man who gave us our first
dishwasher, was a Marine in Vietnam. He took me around the local Marine
Corps League and taught me the meaning of service: selflessness,
sacrifice, doing the right thing when no one is looking and expecting
nothing in return.

Twenty-three years ago today, we saw the same selflessness and sacrifice
in the first responders who ran toward danger instead of away. Those brave
men and women, who were a part of something bigger than themselves, showed
our country — and the world — what service truly means.

And while the smoke was clearing at ground zero, everyday heroes continued
showing the meaning of service, as we as a country came together in
solidarity and strength.

It’s a story I’ve seen time and time again in my own community growing up
— neighbor helping neighbor, stranger helping stranger, friend helping
friend. That’s where the strength of our nation comes from. And we honor
the sacrifice of the first responders on September 11, 2001, by
remembering their courage and selflessness and continuing to show up for
one another every day.

Thank you for joining me today in remembrance,

Lucas Kunce
