This hangs in the lobby of the company where I work. I look at it every day but today I took a moment to stop and reflect. I am both proud and grateful that we received it but above all I am thankful that it serves as a daily reminder that every day life can change forever in a moment. My thoughts go out to those whose lives were changed that day and to those who sacrifice so that we can go about our everyday lives.

Very much affected by that day here in Jersey, many friends were lost. Some of my family living and working in the city were deeply distressed and we spent a lot of time attending services for loved ones and friends and neighbors.
I sent my officers into the city, about thirty minutes away to try and help and I now listen to the issues health wise of those officers.
Our nation was attacked, something we had not seen in our life times, at least mine anyhow.
I was incredibly overwhelmed by the unity and strength of regular Americans on that day, I was very moved and proud of us.
On this day I sit and type with tears forming in my eye as I remember.
To those that did us this harm and to those who have suffered at their hands I say to you " We will never forget"
