Let us not forget

As we know, nine years ago today, several despicable human beings AKA terrorists, decided to hijack four U.S. airplanes and crash them into strategic targets. Nine years seems like a long time ago to most of us. But if you're like us, you remember that day vividly. Those terrorists killed 3,000 of our brothers and sisters. We must not forget that!

Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security was created and ultimately the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Many of us took up the call when the initial roll out took place. Many of us are still there. While the job can suck, and we are often taken for granted by our superiors and the general public, it's important always to keep in mind that we are there to try and stop the next plane from being used as a weapon and to protect those flying on a daily basis.

As many of us begin our work day today, just remember that there are those of us who do appreciate what you do and know the job can be tough at times. Let those of us that care and support you lift you up.
