Auxiliary Corner

Hello Brothers and Sisters in the Auxiliary,

On Sept. 11, 2001, America was forever changed. That tragic day, which served as a true test of the American spirit, will be remembered always.

We observe Patriot Day and all that it represents—we honor the value of life, those we loved and lost, our country’s resilience, and the strength of the American spirit. We commemorate those who we lost and give thanks to the brave first responders who put their lives on the line.

The enduring power of the Sept. 11 attacks is clear: An overwhelming share of Americans who are old enough to recall the day remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. Yet an ever-growing number of Americans have no personal memory of that day, either because they were too young or not yet born.

Take a moment today to consider what we stand for as a nation and how we can work together to make the world a better place for all.

Your President.

Wes Pond
