FRM SECRETARY CHERTOFF: ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11
"Today we pause to reflect on the events of seven years ago, when our country was senselessly attacked and nearly 3,000 lives were tragically lost. That fateful day changed our Nation and our lives. In remembrance of those who perished, and in solidarity with their loved ones, and those who were injured, I ask that each of you observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. (eastern time), when the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
For the past seven years, our Nation has been spared a similar attack on its soil, but there have been multiple attempts and plots that have been thwarted. While it may appear to some that the threat has passed, our adversaries remain committed to doing us harm. They have been foiled by the combined efforts of watchful citizens, diligent law enforcement personnel, our dedicated military, the vigilant intelligence community, and, the tremendous dedication displayed by you-the men and women of this Department-acting with great urgency to defend our homeland.
Five years ago, when the Department was established, we lacked many capabilities to protect our land borders, identify dangerous people at our ports of entry, scan inbound cargo for radiation, or require advance information about every shipment bound for our shores. Today, thanks to our Components, our Federal, State and local partners, the private sector, and friends and allies abroad, we have these and many other capabilities. Most importantly, you have used these capabilities effectively to deter and disrupt attacks for the last seven years.
As we mark the seventh anniversary of September 11, 2001 we can take pride in our accomplishments and know that, through our shared commitment to homeland security, the Nation is safer, stronger, and better prepared to confront the challenges of the 21st century. As we observe this solemn occasion, let us honor the fallen by rededicating ourselves to securing our great country and defending the bedrock freedoms we cherish."

FOUR FOR ONE SALE
1. The Coast Guard Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) is offering a 4-for-1 sale on certain sizes of the tucked version of the Operational Dress Uniform (ODU). For more information, check out ALCOAST message 381/08 at:
http://www.uscg.mil/announcements/
Although this ALCOAST states in paragraph 6 that the current ODU may be worn until 31 December 2012, that deadline applies only for Coast Guard active duty and Reserve personnel. ALAUX 012/08 of April 2008 provided guidance on Auxiliary ODU wear that still applies…specifically, that the current tucked ODU will be authorized for Coast Guard Auxiliary wear until no longer serviceable.
