Post the creed and core values of your branch of service and dedicate it to those who have gone before us on both 9-11 and in the wars that followed. Challenge all your brothers and sisters in arms to do the same thing. I have had the honor to serve with many incredible and selfless individuals in my military career. This experience has provided a wealth of experience and faithful bonds of friendship that will endure my whole life. I consider my service a privilege and an honor to serve our great Nation. Stand with me today and remember those who served our great Nation on September 11, 2001 to include the first responders and brave citizens that responded to this horrific moment in our great nation’s history.
