Today, we remember all the lives lost on 9/11.
During Marine Week Charlotte, we commemorated 9/11 by climbing 110 stories with Charlotteans, the @charlottefire, and service members.

At #MarineWeek Charlotte 9/11 remembrance ceremony. Thankfully we live in a country in which parents raise men and women who willfully give all to help others & protect our great Nation. Many Marines with me here today were in grade school during 9/11...and they said, ‘Send me.’ – at Bethesda, MD
