I lost my mother a few years ago. Friends ask often how I’m doing. We collectively forget my father lost a partner of 43 yrs. Now I realize the role he played in my life as a different kind of caregiver. Without the partnership between my mom and dad I would not be who I am today

September 11, 2001, changed our lives forever. We honor the 2,977 lives lost, including the 15 military and civilian defense intelligence officers who died at the Pentagon that day. As Virgil said: No day shall erase you from the memory of time. #DIMFremembers #neverforget
