Message from the Exalted Ruler

---

Members All, 

As we slide into September, let us always remember the day that shocked the 

nation 25 years ago.  September 11, 2001, 2,977 people were killed in the dead

liest terrorist attack in American history when two airplanes were hijacked and 

flown into the World Trade Center buildings in New York City, another airplane 

was plowed into the Pentagon, and yet another slammed into the ground in 

Somerset County, PA.  The aftermath of these crashes continue to haunt us to

day. 

But this horrific event sparked an immediate, massive wave of national unity, 

flag-flying, and public solidarity, the most patriotic American movement that I 

can remember.  Strangers came together to help one another.  Men and women 

joined the Military in droves to fight against future terror.  And we all gained a 

new loyalty to our country, the United States of America. 

So for all of those who died that day, and continue to die today from illness re

lated to that day, those who fought and continue to fight to keep America safe 

from future Terrorism, we owe it to all of them to show our Patriotism EVERY 

DAY!  

No matter what your political affiliation, we can all agree that the USA is the 

best place on earth, and we need to protect it at all cost.  We need to come together as AMERICANS to show our Love and Respect.  Not to our country, but 

to each other!   

 Fraternally,
