Today, we pause to remember the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the countless families whose lives were forever changed.

We also honor the brave first responders who ran toward danger and the generations of service members who answered the call in the War on Terror that followed. For more than two decades, they served, sacrificed, and carried the weight of defending our nation.

We remember those who never came home, those who returned forever changed, and those who continue to carry the wounds of war today.

May we never forget September 11th, and may we never stop honoring those who answered the call.

God bless our first responders, our military and the United States of America ❤️🇺🇸

If you are able to attend, Westerville will have an observance at First Responders Park located at 374 W. Main St. from 12 - 1 PM.

What a month July has been! 🇺🇸

We were honored to participate in the Rotary Club Of Westerville Independence Day Parade, where we got to see so many friendly faces and spread awareness for our service men and women overseas that need our support. We also had the privilege of representing our organization at the Columbus Clippers Military Appreciation Night last night, connecting with baseball fans and sharing how they can get involved in sending care packages to our deployed service men and women.

We are so grateful for everyone who stopped by our table, asked questions, donated, volunteered, or simply offered words of encouragement. Your support allows us to continue reminding our service members that they are never forgotten!

We are nothing without the community that backs us, our mission could not succeed without you. Thank you all for your support of Mission Gratitude but most importantly, your support for the men and women who fight for our freedom every single day.

❤️

A beautiful night in Hocking County at the Valor Retreat country concert for Veterans. Maureen and I had the honor and privilege of meeting some amazing Veterans. They continue to serve and make our world a better place. The music was wonderful. The people were great and the weather was perfect.
