Today, we pause to honor and mourn the precious lives lost 24 years ago on September 11, 2001—a day etched in our hearts forever. I can still recall every moment of that morning so vividly, a memory that will never fade. Let’s hold space for remembrance and reflection. Please feel free to share your own memories and thoughts in the comments below.

My Story:
We lived in Ft Knox, my husband was at work while I was feeding our beautiful 5 week old first born son. As I sat there on the couch cradling him watching the morning talk show my safe haven changed in slow motion in front of me... what I was watching, was this some kind of sick joke?? As I saw the panic in the eyes of the news cast I quickly realized it was not some sick joke or prank...I immediately called my husband as I knew this would change our lives and he would soon be gone to defend this sick act. As I watched in horror I saw the second plane hit, my next thought was my dad who worked in NY City and as I tried calling and getting busy signals became panicked then my mom, she worked for American Airlines and knew she would be sleeping as she worked the night shift... I did not want her to wake up with this surprise. So many helpless emotions and I could not do anything but sit there and hold our baby boy tight selfishly thinking what would we do without his dad, how could someone put my husband in harms way and potentially take him from us forever... it did not take long while I watched the horrors continue to unfold as so many Americans rushed back to help those still trapped that my thoughts changed to You Must Go and Defend Us! I watched our heartbroken president and Mayor feel helpless and could only imagine the pain and sorrow. Those images stay alive as fresh today as they were that day and the tears still fall the same. My heart will forever break for those families and all that lives through that day... I am so proud that our nation does not forget and even prouder that the baby boy I sat there holding so tight is fighting to keep us safe and defend us along with hos brother, just like thier dad and so many others did.

Let us never forget!!!!!!! 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

Four years ago, the hearts of a nation broke as we lost thirteen brave American service members during the chaotic and tragic withdrawal from Afghanistan. These heroes—sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, and friends—gave their lives in service to our country, standing tall in the face of unimaginable challenges. Their courage, selflessness, and unwavering commitment to duty will forever be etched in our memories.
We honor their sacrifice not just with words, but with a solemn promise: to never forget their names, their stories, or the profound love they had for this nation. They gave everything, and we owe them everything in return—a commitment to learn from the past, to stand by those who wear the uniform, and to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again.
To their families, we hold you in our hearts. To every warrior who continues to serve, we stand with you. And to those thirteen heroes, we say: your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Rest in peace, and may your legacy inspire us to build a future worthy of your courage. (Photo courtesy of The State of Defense)

My heart is heavy today—this loss cuts so deeply, striking way too close to home. To the family, the community, and all our beloved Screaming Eagles 🦅, please know you are in my thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. May love and strength surround you all. Fly high, forever in our hearts 🦅 RIP.

Our community is heartbroken by the loss of one of our soldiers in yesterday's devastating helicopter crash at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. We grieve the fallen soldier and stand with their family, who now carries the immeasurable weight of this tragedy.

When Fort Campbell service members are affected, all of Montgomery County feels it—we are one united community. The brave men and women of Fort Campbell and their families are the heart of Montgomery County. They strengthen our community and are more than service members; they are our friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

Montgomery County stands in full support of the families and soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division, and we are praying for them. In the wake of this tragedy, I am reminded just how important it is to tell all of the people in our lives how much we love them — every day.
