9/11/01 - We'll Never Forget



I send this out every year, but with each passing year, this message is such an important one to understand the unfortunate catastrophic events of 9/11/01 and how we can learn from them. It is a reminder of how important it is to appreciate our family and friends. It is a reminder of how we should all try to live our lives in positive ways each and every day. It is a reminder that the price of our freedom sometimes comes with a cost so great that we lose loved ones because of it.

9/11/01 - Its a date that no one in our lifetime will ever forget.

For some of us that day hit closer to home than for others, but without a doubt we'll all remember it and how our freedom as we knew it was compromised that day. Just sending you this reminder to never take anything for granted. Love your family and friends...take advantage of all your blessings and talents - seen and unseen...take time out for others...live life to the fullest...don't be afraid to go after things you want...and most of all, enjoy yourself - life is too short not to.

Sometimes in our daily routine, we forget that, and 9/11 always makes me think of those things because of a person many of us knew, who always lived up to those ideals.

Dom, you had all those areas covered (www.atributetodom.com for those of you who didn't have the pleasure of knowing this great man). I miss you as we all do and you will never be forgotten. Thank you for being there for all of us during your 40 years with us, showing us how to laugh, live, and love.

To all of you (some of who I see and talk to everyday and others I haven't seen or spoken to in a long time), be sure to go after your dreams, life your life to the fullest - how you want to, and enjoy everything that is important to you.

To all the fallen heroes of 9/11/01 and to all the service men and women who defend our freedom everyday...thank you for your heroism and all of your efforts.

Wishing you all the best always,

Brian
