- Eleven years ago today, the United States of America was under attack. Before that day was over, thousands had lost their lives. Were it not for the selfless acts of heroism by our first responders, who rushed toward the danger as others rushed away from it, the toll would have been far worse. So on this day, as on all days, please take a moment to keep those first responders in your thoughts and prayers. Please also remember the brave men and women of our Armed Forces and the families who stand behind them. These individuals VOLUNTEER to put themselves in harm's way so that the rest of us may live in freedom and safety. We truly owe you everything we have.
Thank you for your service. Rep Rich Nugent shared a link.

We're going to make sure that MacDill continues to play a key role in US Military Readiness going forward. This is a bipartisan issue and we're going to keep working together for Florida's military community and jobs.
