Dear friend –

Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost 23 years ago in the September 11th attacks. This solemn day will forever be etched in our hearts, and our thoughts remain with the families and loved ones who still carry the weight of that tragedy.

Today is also a time to recognize the extraordinary courage and heroism that emerged in the face of terror. First responders risked everything to save lives, and countless ordinary individuals stepped up to help their fellow Americans. Their bravery continues to inspire us.

As we reflect on that day, we also renew our commitment to unity and service. This anniversary reminds us of our nation's resilience when we come together, and it calls us to continue building bridges within our communities. Especially now, we are reminded of how strong we can be when we stand united.

In 2020, I introduced a resolution to designate September 11th as a national day of service, encouraging everyone to participate in charitable acts of their choice. It’s a meaningful way to honor those we lost and strengthen our bonds as a nation.

Today, I hope you’ll take a moment to reflect on the significance of being part of this incredible country and consider giving back in a way that uplifts our collective spirit.
