25 YEARS LATER — WE WILL NEVER FORGET 🇺🇸🇺🇸🫡🫡🙏🏽🙏🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽
TODAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 2026, WE PAUSE AS A CITY AND AS A NATION TO REMEMBER A DAY THAT FOREVER CHANGED AMERICA.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE TRAGIC ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, BUT TIME WILL NEVER ERASE THE LIVES LOST, THE SACRIFICES MADE, OR THE HEROISM SHOWN ON THAT DAY.
WE HONOR THE NEARLY 3,000 PRECIOUS LIVES TAKEN TOO SOON. WE SALUTE THE FIREFIGHTERS, POLICE OFFICERS, FIRST RESPONDERS, MILITARY PERSONNEL, AND ORDINARY CITIZENS WHO DISPLAYED EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE IN THE FACE OF UNIMAGINABLE TRAGEDY.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE REMEMBER THE UNITY THAT FOLLOWED, WHEN DIFFERENCES WERE PUT ASIDE, NEIGHBORS STOOD WITH NEIGHBORS, AND WE WERE REMINDED THAT WE ARE ONE NATION, ONE PEOPLE, AND ONE AMERICAN FAMILY.
ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, THE VILLE PLATTE CITY COUNCIL, AND ALL OF OUR CITY EMPLOYEES, WE REMEMBER THOSE WE LOST, WE HONOR THOSE WHO SERVED, AND WE PRAY FOR THE FAMILIES WHO CONTINUE TO CARRY THEIR MEMORY.
25 YEARS LATER, OUR PROMISE REMAINS THE SAME: WE WILL NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS VILLE PLATTE, OUR FIRST RESPONDERS, OUR MILITARY, AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
MAYOR RYAN LEDAY WILLIAMS
VILLE PLATTE CITY COUNCIL & CITY EMPLOYEES
🇺🇸 ONE NATION. ONE COMMUNITY. NEVER FORGOTTEN. 🇺🇸
