Normalize carrying a book everywhere *just in case* you get 5 minutes to read

If you were young in 2001, or weren’t even born yet, it can be hard to imagine what 9/11 felt like. The shock of that beautiful, cloudless morning. The heartbreak of the families whose loved ones were taken with such swiftness and cruelty. The realization that the forces of malevolence and violence were closer, and the future less certain, than we knew.

But in the days that followed, we felt something else, too. Pride in the rescue workers who had rushed to the scene, and the passengers who had stormed the cockpit. Admiration for the men and women who left behind lives of comfort to serve their country. A deep resolve that nothing would break the will of a truly United States of America.

Today Michelle and I are remembering those we lost that day, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the wars that followed. We pray for their families. And we hope Americans everywhere remember the true lesson of 9/11: that we can survive even our darkest days as long as we move forward as one nation and one people.

One of the all-time great Rock Hall moments: Dolly’s “Jolene” with Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Pink, and Sheryl Crow. Zac Brown Band held it down as the house band.

Rest easy, Dolly 🤘

BREAKING: We just opened Pennsylvania’s 125th State Park in Fayette County — the first new state park opened under my Administration.

Laurel Caverns is:

🥾Pennsylvania’s first-ever underground state park.
🥾Home to 4 miles of cave passages and 400+ acres aboveground.
🥾The largest and deepest cave in Pennsylvania.
🥾Absolutely breathtaking.

Pennsylvania is one of the few states where every state park (and state forest) is free to enter. It’s part of our commitment to accessible outdoor recreation.

“When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love.”
