 September 11th – Patriot Day As I sit on the couch and write this week’s content for the District, the date of September 11th remains at forefront and center of my thoughts and heart. I will never forget where I was. I was in Renton, Washington at the time, and was working for a Government Reseller, Northrup Grumman. To say I walked into work and stayed in shock is an understatement. Our nation was under attack. We all watched in disbelief and terror, and we came together. Many of us will take moments today and pause for gratitude, prayer, and thoughts of those who responded that day, those families and friends impacted and will never forget. I know that my heart is with those still impacted 23 years later with the loss of 2,996 people and the friends and family missing their people. Never Forget…. Kimberly Ross, DTM District 50, District Director Would you like to share something with us? Remember that D50 Cares. |
