💛🤠 HOMETOWN SHOUT-OUT OF THE WEEK! 🇺🇸👏

Around here, we believe small towns have BIG hearts, and this week, we’ve got a couple of special shout-outs to share! 🥰 There’s nothing better than neighbors showing up for their community, and these folks have given us a little extra reason to smile!

🍪 SHOUT-OUT #1: A SWEET SURPRISE! 🍪

A BIG THANK YOU to Joy Sullivan and Oakley’s W**e Bar for the amazing cookies for our first responders and Town employees! 🍪❤️ Nothing says a little hometown love quite like a sweet treat. Your kindness brightened our day, and we appreciate you thinking of the folks who work hard to serve our community!

🇺🇸 SHOUT-OUT #2: CRAFTED WITH HEART! 🇺🇸

A special THANK YOU to Dennis Meabon, owner of Wood in Waves, for this one-of-a-kind wooden Blue Line flag! 💙🖤🤍 This beautiful piece of craftsmanship is going to look AMAZING in our Police Department! The time, talent, and thoughtfulness that went into this gift mean so much to us.

🙌 THIS is what small-town pride looks like! Neighbors helping neighbors, local businesses showing love, and good people making our community a little more special every day.

To Joy, Oakley’s W**e Bar, and Dennis — thank you for your generosity and for reminding us why we’re so proud to call this community home! 🏡❤️

🇺🇸 25 YEARS LATER - WE REMEMBER. 🇺🇸

Today, September 11, 2026, marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 innocent lives taken that day. We remember the families who lost loved ones, the survivors whose lives were forever changed, and the brave first responders who ran toward danger while others were running away.

As a law enforcement family, we especially honor the 343 firefighters, 23 NYPD officers, and 37 Port Authority Police officers who made the ultimate sacrifice that day.

Their courage, dedication, and selflessness continue to remind us of the oath we take to protect and serve our communities.

We will never forget.
We will always remember.
We will always honor their sacrifice.

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — September 11, 2026 🇺🇸
