25 years ago, our nation woke to images we will never forget, and people around the world shared in the shock and sadness. Today, we pause to remember those we lost on September 11, 2001, especially the men and women who responded to the emergency and gave their lives.

Thank you as well to the emergency responders who protect us every day. This Patriots Day, we remember and honor your service.

Denise, Keith, and Sam enjoyed a day out on the greens at the Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance (PNAA) Golf Tournament. There was a little friendly rivalry when Denise, Keith, and Eric Yates challenged Rosemary Brester and her boys (Sam, Dradin Kreft, and Ben Sappington), but I think we can agree on who won the "Best Dressed" category. Rosemary had them looking shipshape. Thank you to the PNAA team for a wonderful day out!
