**Reflecting on September 11, 2001** Today, September 11, is a day of remembrance, reflection, and honor. As we pause to commemorate, many of us are reminded of where we were when the world changed forever. For me, I was in 11th grade, sitting in world history class, watching events unfold that would forever alter the trajectory of our nation. Today I saw the question proposed: "Why does it matter or should we care where you were when the Twin Towers were struck?" The answers I read were deeply moving. For some, it was a pivotal moment that inspired them to serve in the military. For others, it was a profound experience that reshaped their view of the world. Many had personal connections—family members in the towers or first responders who risked everything. Even now, as I see my second grader learning about the history I lived through, I'm struck by how these moments continue to shape our collective memory. I was just 16 years old on that fateful day, but the impact of 9/11 is as vivid today as it was then. Let us take a moment to remember not only the events of that day but also the incredible courage of our first responders who put others before themselves every single day. Their bravery and selflessness remain a beacon of hope and strength for us all. Today, let us honor the lives lost and the families affected. Let us also reflect on the resilience and unity that followed—a testament to our shared strength. #NeverForget #9/11 #DayOfRemembrance #PatriotsDay

Memorial Day, from the perspective of a veteran, is a solemn day of remembrance and honor. It’s a day to reflect on the sacrifices of those who have fallen in the line of duty, protecting the freedoms and values we hold dear. For veterans who have experienced the realities of war firsthand, Memorial Day carries a profound significance that goes beyond the typical celebrations and gatherings. It’s a day marked by memories of comrades who never made it home, whose laughter and courage are remembered in the quiet moments of a veteran’s heart. It’s a time to think about the families left behind, the empty seats at dinner tables, and the personal stories of bravery that ended too soon. Veterans understand the weight of loss and the price of freedom in a way that is deeply personal and often painful. Memorial Day is not about the living; it’s about honoring those who have given their lives for something greater than themselves. It’s about the men and women buried in cemeteries across the nation, who were more than just soldiers; they were loved ones, friends, and family. For veterans, the day may also bring a mix of emotions, including pride in their service and a sense of camaraderie with those who understand the cost of war. Yet, it can also be a challenging time, as the focus on military service and sacrifices can trigger memories and emotions related to their own experiences. As a nation, we can honor the true meaning of Memorial Day by participating in commemorative activities, observing moments of silence, and supporting organizations that provide resources and support to veterans and their families. It’s a day to ensure that the legacy of the fallen is not forgotten but is carried forward with respect and gratitude for the freedoms their sacrifices have secured.

Happy memorial day weekend. As we all get together with family and friends and remeber those who have fallen, please mind what you say to people especially veterans. Our words have power. The power to bring life or the power to mend a browkn soul, and sadley the power to destroy. So take time. Listen to what your friends and family are saying. And choose how you will respond. I encourage you to watch this short video. https://lnkd.in/gNz2btv4

Remembrance Day, today is not only to remember but to honor the veterans who have served with valor and sacrifice. These men and women, from various nations, have stepped forward in times of conflict and peace to defend principles greater than themselves—freedom, justice, and the security of future generations. Their service transcends borders and time, echoing the bravery of those who fought in World War I, whose memory this day originally commemorates, extending to all who have defended our collective peace and liberty. Today, we reflect on their sacrifices, ensuring their legacy is not forgotten. Veterans carry stories of heroism, loss, and resilience. They have faced the unimaginable, often at great personal cost, and yet many return to civilian life with humility, bearing scars both visible and invisible. Honoring them means acknowledging not just their service during conflicts but also their life after. It involves offering support through healthcare, mental health services, employment opportunities, and community recognition. It's about ensuring that their transition from military to civilian life is supported, that their contributions are recognized, and that we learn from their experiences to foster a society where their sacrifices are never in vain. As we stand in moments of silence, lay wreaths, or march in parades, we are reminded of the duty we owe to our veterans. This day isn't merely about remembrance; it's a call to action. We must educate future generations about the cost of freedom, encourage peace, and promote understanding among nations. By doing so, we honor our veterans by continuing to uphold the values they defended, ensuring their sacrifices contribute to a legacy of peace and reconciliation. Let us commit to this remembrance, not just today, but every day, in our actions, our policies, and our collective memory.

This can be a difficult day for anyone who has lost someone who was a veteran or was on active duty. If you are finding this day emotionally challenging, consider exploring some ways that you can take care of yourself. You could: - Take a walk or go for a run🚶♂️ - Call a friend to talk 📞 - Take a nap 🛌 - Light a candle in remembrance of your loved one 🕯️ - Eat a special meal or favorite food🍽️ - Write a letter to them or to a current service member✍️ - Do something that your loved one enjoyed in honor of them 🎨 If you haven't lost someone who was in the military, you may be unsure of how you can help those who are grieving during the holiday. The most important thing you can do is just acknowledge the range of feelings they may be having. Reach out, if you are able, to let them know you care about them and that you are available to talk or be with them if that would feel supportive and helpful. Never take the privileges we enjoy for granted; instead, make an effort to be worthy of their sacrifices. Let's work together to create a society that is based on harmony, empathetic kindness, and understanding. May we choose loving communication and compassion over indifference in a world full of conflicts.

At 11 a.m., we join together in a moment of silence, a tradition that began to mark the end of World War I in 1918.

MEMORIALS AND MOMENTS A single instance, can last a lifetime. That's what a day like Memorial Day means. Those moments where lives were forever changed, that can't be unchanged. Where lifetimes are cut to their shortest thread. Memorials are personal monuments -- individual reminders of the last and full measure taken. Often, those moments are chosen. The last breath held, before taking the last jump into the fray. Humanity is built and measured on that pause, that space, before everything is taken away. Before the times turn black. But there are also stories of those moments not chosen. Where there was no room for choice -- because the enemy had made the choice themselves. The enemy gets a vote -- & their vote, carries the ultimate & terrible cost. Memorial Day is the moment to remember those who were on the end of both of those timelines. We all hope to measure life in long days and long decades. To look back on our own works & marvel at what we accomplished. But days like these, are where those who can't marvel at their achievements -- must be seen through the eyes of the survivors. It is through these eyes -- upon this horizon -- where we can remember. Where we hope to never forget. Memorial Day is the stark, public reminder to remember what shouldn't be forgotten. While we build upon that past and stand among those souls -- it's a moment to remember, appreciate, and return to what that sacrifice meant. To celebrate today, in a single instance, is to remember the lifetimes lost in singular instances. #memorialday #military #coastguard #veteran

Not all wounds are visible. 💔 Today is Veteran’s Day—a time to honor those who served. But beyond the medals and parades, many veterans carry something unseen: trauma. It doesn’t wear a uniform, but it follows them home. Trauma doesn’t fade with time; it reshapes lives. For veterans, and so many others, it’s a daily struggle. It impacts families, relationships, and careers. In the workplace, we may not know who’s quietly fighting this battle. A little empathy, a little patience, can go a long way. Today, let’s honor veterans not only with gratitude, but with understanding. How can we build workplaces and communities that support those with unseen wounds? #VeteransDay #MentalHealthMatters #SupportOurVeterans
