Fultondale News by Sue McKay

The North Jefferson News



As you know, this past Thursday was the seventh anniversary of the planes hitting the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the plane that crashed in a remote area of Pennsylvania. We need to reflect on that and be thankful for our freedom and all the military that volunteer to risk their own lives everyday so that we may have freedom and be safe in our own country. You know I heard someone say recently that we never seem to remember and be thankful for our military, police, paramedics or first responders until we need them. That is so true, and we expect them to be there when there is an emergency. So be thankful for them and most of all, remember them in your prayers.

• The election is just around the corner so make sure you are registered to vote and make a point to vote.
