East Ridge Vice Mayor David Tyler

I remember it was a Tuesday.

I remember getting a phone call from my mom telling me to turn on the news.

I remember seeing the second plane hit as I turned on the tv.

I remember the pain we all felt.

I remember when we came together as a nation and stood up against the forces of evil.

I will never forget 9/11.

I appreciate the swift action taken by ERPD and ERFD in response to yesterday's flash floods. Given the forecast for additional rainfall today, I urge everyone to prioritize their safety and refrain from non-essential travel. My sympathies go out to those impacted.
