Alder

Yesterday was a packed day for the Alder DC delegation! We kicked things off with Lt. Gen. (ret) Walt Piatt who now leads the Wounded Warrior Project to learn about how we can support those who guard our nation’s freedom. Next up, a top secret visit at a government agency of brave people who silently protect our security. We’re not authorized to say more than that 😉

We closed the day by taking over the Spy Museum for a dinner conversation with Ralph Goff, Former Senior Executive Service Officer, CIA. We covered geopolitical risks across the globe and the state of play in security. Up next: Capitol Hill!

Alder’s 2024 DC Delegation coming in hot! We heard from some of our nation’s most exciting leaders, listened to tales of the lobbying world from Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Brody Mullins, and reconnected with friends over White House views. Looking forward to an amazing week ahead!

On the morning of September 11, 2001, the world as we knew it changed. The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Flight 93 were the deadliest in U.S. history and reshaped how we think about foreign adversaries. Today and every day, we honor those who lost their lives and the bravery of the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice running into the fire to save others.

As citizen leaders, it’s our duty not only to remember our history, but to keep it alive by continuing to tell the stories of those who were lost, and those who gave their lives to save others. Young people need to know that in the shadows of the worst of humanity, the best of humanity was revealed through the heroism and unity that emerged. They need to know there’s reason to believe in America and feel pride for our nation’s values. Moments like this are what we mean when we say the words "Never Forget."
 
We encourage you to reflect on what “Never Forget” means to you and your family. How can you pass on the lessons of September 11 to the next generation, and how can you honor those who lost their lives on that fateful day?
