Thank you Chief Glynn for the kind words.
We will never forget 🙏🏼☘️🤍
Friday will mark the 25th Anniversary of September 11, 2001. 
It’s a day when everybody knew where we were when our country was attacked.
The loss of life to innocent civilians, firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and every day heroes, cannot be captured through words.
The loss of lives in the days, months, and years after 9/11, continues from exposure received at Ground Zero to rescuers from the recovery efforts.
The losses have reached across our country, and into our Abington Community with the Coombs family, Vasselian family, and Fay family. 
In the aftermath of these cowardly attacks, what stood out most to me, was the unity and kindness extended to each other while trying to process and grieve.
I would see people stopping at four-way intersections, waiting patiently and waving each other on. People would hold doors for each other, shake hands more, share compliments more freely.
There was a kindness and unity that I had never seen before in my life. Everybody appeared to want to pick each other up.
Let’s follow the example this week continually set by the Coombs, Vasselian, and Fay families, in honoring those lost by making this a week of service. 
Hold the door, buy a coffee for someone, help those in need, extend any type of kind gesture. We will never forget.
Jack Glynn
