Our crew returned home from their deployment in Texas around 2:00 PM today. Everyone is doing well and, understandably tired. We’re glad to have them back safely and know their families are eager to welcome them home!

As we reflect back on September 11, we still remember where we were, what we saw, and the way our country changed forever. That date reminds us of the cost of service, the importance of standing together, and the responsibility we have to remember those who never came home.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
