One week from today.

On Friday, September 11 at 9 a.m., Monroe and Union County first responders will gather at the Historic Union County Courthouse on Hayne Street to mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and honor those who gave everything that morning.

Twenty-five years later, we remember by showing up. The ceremony is outdoors and open to all, and Hayne Street will be closed. We hope you'll be there.
