Today is Patriot Day, the national day of service and remembrance observed each September 11 in honor of those killed in the 2001 terrorist attacks.
Part of that history has a physical home right here in Warren County. At the Glens Falls Fire Department's Ridge Street headquarters stands a memorial built around a piece of steel recovered from the World Trade Center, donated by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey. Each year on this day, the department gathers there to remember those lost and to honor the firefighters — including many of their own — who worked at Ground Zero in the search and recovery effort that followed.
It's a small memorial with a direct line to one of the largest events in American history — and a reminder that Warren County's story is woven into the nation's history and another reason we're proud to call Warren County home.
