As the nation paused to
recognize the 14th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, locally, K9s For
Warriors paid tribute to the
individuals who lost their
lives on the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history
with an inaugural ceremony
“Reflections: A 9/11 Memorial Service.”
The memorial service
was held the morning of
Sept. 11 at the brand new,
multi-million dollar K9s For
Warriors headquarters located at 114 Camp K9 Road,
Ponte Vedra Beach in the
Nocatee community. Local
military service members
participated in a flag lowering ceremony followed by a
moment of silence to honor
the victims of 9/11.
This year marked the 14th
anniversary of the terrorist bombings of the World
Trade Center, the Pentagon,
and United Flight 93. In total, nearly 3,000 individuals
lost their lives.
Nationally, memorial ceremonies were also held at
The National September 11
Memorial plaza in New York
City, the Pentagon Memorial
in Virginia, and Shanksville,
Pennsylvania, the city near
where United Airlines Flight
93 crashed in an empty
field, claiming the lives of
40 people.
Many people also paid
tribute via social media
using the hashtag #NeverForget.
