It's resilience that unites our nations. It's through the pain we relearn to love, contribute, respect, and support a human life. Precious are the days of old. Precious are the days to come. Cherish the now.

As we pause to reflect on the events of this day, marking the hashtag anniversary of one of the most horrific, yet unifying times of our lives, we honor the 1st responders, volunteers, employees, families, friends, bystanders, who sacrificed so much, lost so much more.

AAREP Chicago salutes you! 🫡
🇺🇸 We remember, and will never - ever forget.
