9-11 We will never forget!

Friday, September 11th is observed as Patriots' Day in recognition of the attacks and the lives impacted in our nation 25 years ago. Locally, there will be a brief remembrance at Macon Plaza (Library park) at 4pm. The CCHS JROTC Color Guard will present the colors and Cañon City Police Chief Schick will offer a few comments.

As noted by the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, "A quarter century after the September 11, 2001 attacks, 100 million Americans are too young to remember the day that changed our city and nation forever. It is our shared promise — made 25 years ago — to never forget so those born after 9/11 learn its significance and enduring legacy. As we commemorate this anniversary, a new generation will learn about the unimaginable loss we experienced and the inspiring stories of bravery, compassion, unity, and service that we witnessed, and have rippled through the decades."

The CCPD hopes you will take some time to remember and reflect on the significance of the day, the event and the response of our country!
