Thank you to everyone in the comminity who joined us for our pancake breakfast! 🥞 ❤️

Thanks to your support, all proceeds will go directly to supporting veterans in our community.

We loved seeing all the adorable costumes—and a huge shout out to the kids (and parents) for showing off their Halloween safety knowledge. 🎃✨️ We were also honored to have a special visit from 6th District President Sherri Rosener and her family (channeling a fun flashback to her youth!).

Thanks to all for making this so special.

Keep watching, for our next Uptown community event! 🇺🇸

September 11 — We Will Never Forget 🇺🇸

25 years later, we remember.

We remember the lives that were taken far too soon.
We remember the families whose lives were forever changed.
We remember the firefighters, police officers, first responders, military members, and everyday heroes who ran toward danger while others were trying to escape.

We remember the phone calls that were never answered, the embraces that never happened, and the empty seats at family tables that remain reminders of unimaginable loss.

But we also remember the courage. The sacrifice. The compassion. The unity.

On September 11, 2001, America experienced one of its darkest days. Yet from that darkness came countless acts of humanity—strangers helping strangers, communities standing together, and a nation reminding the world that even in tragedy, love can be stronger than hate.

Twenty-five years have passed, but time does not erase their names, their stories, their families, or the impact they left behind.

Today, we pause. We honor. We reflect.

For the nearly 3,000 souls we lost, for those who sacrificed everything trying to save others, and for those who continue to carry the physical and emotional scars of that day:

You are remembered.
You are honored.
You will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

May the lights continue to shine toward the heavens as a symbol that although they are no longer with us, their memory will forever shine in our hearts.

September 11, 2001 — September 11, 2026
25 Years. We Remember. We Honor. We Will Never Forget.

🇺🇸🕯️🙏🏽
