25 YEARS LATER — WE REMEMBER.
Today, our nation pauses to remember September 11, 2001.
We remember the innocent lives that were lost.
We remember the firefighters, police officers, first responders, military members, and ordinary Americans who ran toward danger when others were running away.
But 25 years later, we also remember something else.
We remember how we came together.
Neighbors helped neighbors. Strangers became friends. Communities gathered. American flags appeared on homes, businesses, vehicles and street corners. For a little while, the things that divided us seemed much smaller than the things we shared.
Maybe that is something worth remembering today, too.
Here in the Gila Valley, we are blessed to live in a community where people still show up for each other. Where families know one another. Where neighbors help when someone is hurting. Where first responders leave their own families to help someone else’s.
On this Patriot Day, the Casa Mañana Family joins our community and our nation in remembering those we lost, honoring those who served, and being grateful for the country and community we call home.
May we never forget September 11, 2001.
And may we never forget September 12, either. 🇺🇸
— The Casa Mañana Family
