Hello blog readers. Today is the 6th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. McKinney hosted a memorial service at 9:00 this morning. Thanks to Assistant Fire Chief Frank Roma, Fire Chief Mark Wallace, Police Chief Doug Kowalski and everyone who participated.
It was a very moving ceremony that brought tears to my eyes a few times. Especially when the New York Firefighters and New York City Police officers were pointed out. They joined our local men and women today at the event. Their work after the attacks was much appreciated. I had a chance to talk with one police officer who responded that morning and I was shaking while he described the scene that day. True Heroes.
It was a day for the community to come together and remember. And as the Fire Chief said numerous times, "we must never forget."
If you see someone today who contributes to our safety and the safety and freedom of our country... tell them Thank You.
Carrie
