This week has been a busy one. I want to share with you a bit about Arlington's response to September 11th. Below is short video with testimonials and my remarks from a 20th anniversary event today.
Watch this 9 minute 49 second video on how Arlington Responded and How September 11 Helped Reveal our Character
This morning, I had the honor of speaking at our ceremony of remembrance. Click below and feel free to take a look at my remarks beginning at 14 minutes and 55 seconds. Or watch the whole ceremony to learn how Arlington stepped forward and our Fire Department, first responders, County employees as a whole, and community served us well in a very difficult and uncertain moment. We must never forget those we lost and, as you will see if you watch, that a hug is better than a scowl.
Watch this morning's ceremony. My remarks run 4 minutes starting at 14 minutes and 55 seconds.
So today and tomorrow, take time to reflect. Hug your loved ones a little closer. Remember that every moment we are given is precious.
Serving Arlington, and you with a full and grateful heart,
Matt ps. If you have questions about the event, please email me at [email protected].
