This morning, the Mt. Juliet community gathered at the City of Mt. Juliet Clock Tower to mark 25 years since the attacks of September 11, 2001.
For a few moments, our community stood together to reflect on a day that changed our nation forever. We honored the 2,977 lives lost, the families who carried unimaginable loss, and the first responders whose courage and selflessness became a lasting symbol of that day.
Through the lowering of the flag, the Pledge of Allegiance, a moment of silence and “The Last Alarm,” Mt. Juliet paid tribute not only to those we lost, but also to the spirit of service and unity that followed September 11.
We were proud to have members of the Mt. Juliet Fire Department and Mt. Juliet Police Department take part in today’s remembrance, continuing the commitment to service that we honor on this day. We were also grateful to have Wilson County Emergency Services Rehab Association - Rehab 23, Tunnel to Towers, Jeff Caron - Country Financial, and mt juliet buzz represented as our community came together to remember and pay tribute.
A quarter-century has passed, but our promise remains the same: remember their names, share their stories and make sure future generations understand the significance of September 11.
Thank you to the Mt. Juliet Chamber of Commerce, led by President & CEO Mark Hinesley, for bringing our community together for this special remembrance.
Mt. Juliet remembers. We will never forget. 🇺🇸
