LOCAL FIREFIGHTERS COMMEMORATE SEPTEMBER 11 AND THE HEROES WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES

East County New Service

September 11, 2024 (Valley Center) – This morning,  State Senator Brian Jones (40-SD) joined with the Valley Center Fire Protection District for a September 11 remembrance ceremony commemorating the worst terrorism attack on U.S. soil.

“We gather 23 years later to remember the events that occurred on September 11, 2001 and to pay tribute to Firefighters, EMS, Police Officers, Military Personnel, and civilians who paid the ultimate sacrifice to save those who were trapped in the Twin Towers, and in the Pentagon after a cowardly act of terrorism against the United States of America,” says Jones.

We also remember the American and United Airlines Flight Crew Members and the passengers who perished on the hijacked flights that crashed into the Pentagon and into a rural field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.”
