We will remember, we will honor. We will never forget.

On this day, our hearts ache with remembrance. We honor the lives taken, including our own Thomas J. Ashton, whose memory lives forever in this community.

We hold close the courage of the first responders, the love of those who rushed to save others, and the strength of all who continue to carry this loss.

Though years have passed, the pain endures, but so does our promise.

We will remember, we will honor. We will never forget.
