Friends,

 

September 11, 2001, is a day seared into the hearts and minds of every single American.

We saw unspeakable tragedy, and pure, unadulterated evil strike American soil. The worst terror attack in American history took almost 3,000 lives and shook Americans across the country to their core.

It’s a memory that we will carry with us until the day we die. 

We witnessed a horrific tragedy that day, but we also saw unbelievable courage and bravery from the first responders who stormed into the breach in order to save as many lives as they could. 

The heroism of our first responders that day, and that of the Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and Marines who deployed to the Middle East to seek justice for the victims will also never be forgotten. 

I’d like to close today by inviting you to join me in taking a moment to reflect on those whose lives were lost on September 11, 2001. We must never forget what transpired that day, and strive to ensure that we never see a tragedy like that again on American soil. 

Sincerely, 

Governor Eric Holcomb
