Filed under 9/11, DoD News {no comments}

As the country pauses to reflect on all the terrorist attacks that happened on U.S. soil ten years ago, Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and his wife Mrs. Deborah Mullen, pay tribute to the American people and their sacrifice.

“We remember and honor the lives lost and the bravery shown,” Admiral Mullen said, highlighting the importance of staying strong and resilient as the country looks to the future.  The strength of service, resilience and dedication of the services is so important and Admiral Mullen says that the uniformed members of the armed services remind people everywhere of the power of service to others.

Mrs. Mullen said that they draw strength from the men and women in uniform and their families.
