What a somber weekend. Yesterday, we marked the 21st Anniversary of the horrific attacks of 9/11. Though the smoke has cleared and the rubble long since swept away, the shock, confusion, disbelief, pain, and unimaginable grief we first felt on that cool September morning are always just below the surface.

While we must never forget what happened to us and our country that day… the lives lost and our very way of life under attack, we must also never forget how we came together as Americans in the aftermath. There was no “Dem” or “Rep”, “Me” or “You”, …. It was “Us”.

We owe it to those who lost their lives, to our country, to each other and to ourselves to get that Spirit back!

Plus…. the United Kingdom and the World continues to Mourn the Death of Queen Elizabeth II who died Friday at the age of 96 after 70 years as the British Monarch. She will be laid to rest on Monday, September 19th, one week from today.
