πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ Remembering September 11th

Today, Putnam County came together to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the brave first responders who answered the call that day.

The Putnam County Fire Rescue Honor Guard hosted the annual September 11th Remembrance Ceremony, bringing together members of our local fire and law enforcement agencies and community members to reflect on the events of that tragic day and honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and service shown on September 11thβ€”and we continue to carry their memory forward.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ
