BREVARD COUNTY • PORT CANAVERAL, FLORIDA – On September 11, I had the honor of speaking at three separate events that honored the memory of 9/11.

The events were held to honor Firefighters, Law Enforcement Officers, and the members of our Armed Services who put their lives on the line every day to protect our community.

In honor of our Fallen Heroes we must always remember the sacrifices that our first responders made on that day and also everything our military has done to protect this great country.

It is our job as citizens and patriots to never let their memory and sacrifices be forgotten. 

I would like to personally thank everyone who allowed me to speak at the various events and also thank everyone who came to the various events today to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation.
