Hi All; As a Delegate to the AKC I will be attending the 9/11 Observance at Liberty State Park in NJ to honor the SAR Teams from 9/11. This is a day that I will never forget, not only for all the lives lose, but it touched me personally as my cousin lost her husband, leaving a two year old and a two month old children and his brother who were with Cantor Fitzgerald. My other cousin who was with Ladder Co.3 lost all 13 guys in his house. He left after his shift and was headed home when the call came in for all to return. When he he got back to the house all 13 that he had left not long before had perished when the Towers collapsed. This is a day that we should never forget and most honor not only those who perished, but those who were rescuers and these wonderful dogs of SARA and their handlers are a big part of this. I also think folks that it is time to reflect on what is important in life. With the fires, floods, and everything else that is happening to people across this country, I have to say that I think the problems we have been talking about with the National and the Club are nothing compared to what some folks are going through right now. So, take a moment tomorrow not only to remember those we lost, but to ask God to help all of our friends who are having hardships right now.
