Never forget
On the anniversary of the September 11th attacks, observances took place across the country to remember the 2,996 individuals who lost their lives. This included firefighters, police officers, and other responders who sacrificed themselves while trying to help at the World Trade Center. The attacks were carried out by al-Qaida in 2001.
341 members of the Fire Department of New York were among the victims of the terrorist attacks. In addition, New York police officers and Port Authority officers also lost their lives while responding to the call for help at the Trade Center.
Cumberland County joined in the commemorations by displaying flags at half-mast, such as in front of the Cumberland County Justice Center, as a symbol of remembrance and tribute to the lives lost.
