MADISON, Wis. — Madison College held its 9/11 remembrance ceremony Friday ahead of the 21st anniversary of the deadly terrorist attack.
The ceremony at the college’s Truax campus included remarks from guest speaker and Dane County Sheriff Kalvin Barrett, who urged people to remember not just those who died in the 2001 attack but also those who died from diseases caused by extended exposure to Ground Zero.
“What happened that day will forever be seared in our memories,” he said. “The pain, the terror, the tragedies, but also the tremendous displays of courage that were done by everyday citizens and first responders.”
