🇺🇸 Remembering September 11, 2001 🇺🇸

LULAC Council #12 is proud and honored to be part of the 9/11 Commemoration Ceremony. We are especially grateful to WoodmenLife for coming and inviting us to be part and this Friday morning’s event was extra special and meaningful for our community.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to stand together with our community and remember those we lost on September 11, 2001.

Today, we honor the brave first responders, military members, and every individual who showed incredible courage, strength, and sacrifice. We remember the lives that were lost, the families who were forever changed, and the heroes who stepped forward when our nation needed them most.

May we never forget.
May their courage continue to inspire us, and may we always remember that freedom is not free—it comes through the sacrifice of brave men and women.

🇺🇸 God bless those we lost, their families, our first responders, and the United States of America. 🇺🇸

Never Forget. 9/11/2001
