It’s been 13 years, but we still remember. On September 11, 2001, the World Trade Center was attacked, the Twin Towers in New York City fell and so many lives were lost.
On the 13th annivesary of this American tragedy, Nevadans gathered at Police Memorial Park in a Memorial Service of the men and women lost on 9/11.
With bowed heads, raised flags and commemorative speeches, locals reflected on the day that will not be forgotten.
