I am writing this email on this very important day – a day that we must never forget – September 11th.
I got up this morning at 6 a.m. and for some strange reason I had three times the amount of energy I usually do.
I had my first cup of coffee and turned on the TV – the channels were full of news and comments regarding this tragic day back on September 11, 2001.
Do you remember where you were on Tuesday, September 11, 2001?
I do – I was sitting in my office working on two municipal bids for my waste company that I had founded just 18 months earlier.
At 9:20 a.m., the TV that I always had on in my office reported the first airplane crash into the World Trade Center.
In just 10 days – on September 21st – I will be 60 years old.
On September 11, 2001 – I was 45 years old.
Time has passed quickly, but on this day every year the weight of what happened that day still weighs heavy on all of our hearts.
Earlier this morning on MSNBC there was a conversation – one of the hosts commented that back on September 11, 2001 everyone in our country came together to overcome the tragedy and to honor everyone who was killed.
The show host went on to say that today our country is more divided than ever – Icould not agree more.
Fourteen years later, I am extremely concerned about the direction of our great country which is why I decided to run for the Pennsylvania State Senate.
Today is a day of reflection for me to be thankful for our great country – for every opportunity afforded to me – to every veteran who shakes my hand – to be thankful for the men and women who have fought battles since the founding of our great country to save our precious freedom.
Please take time today to reflect on all that we have to be thankful for in the United States of America.
Have a good weekend.
Scott Wagner represents the 28th District in the Pennsylvania Senate.
Remember September 11
