On behalf of everyone at Arco, I would like to express our deepest sympathies to the families affected by last week's tragic events.  Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with each and every one of you.

Our nation was witness to one of the most shocking and deplorable attacks against America in history.  While these events have generated a wide range of emotions from disbelief to rage and then to deep sadness, we need to reach out to the distressed and help by offering prayers and support.  We also need to salute the many heroes and rescue workers involved in the relief efforts.  Lets all take the necessary steps to rebuild and create the best possible future for generations to come.

We will never forget.

Sincerely,
