Our nation has experienced a series of unprecedented disasters in recent weeks, including three major hurricanes and a horrific attack that occurred in Las Vegas last Sunday night.  In the midst of these great dangers, we repeatedly observe heroism and courage as our fellow Americans provided care and assisted others to safety.  We recognize and honor those who have been impacted directly, their families and friends, and the heroic first responders and good samaritans who risked their lives to save others.  Our SAMHSA staff also have families who have been impacted.  We mourn the loss of innocent lives and the terrible injuries sustained by many others.The pain and devastation of these experiences are felt by so many of us and our fellow citizens as we all seek to recover.  We at SAMHSA
