Winder Remembers

City firefighters, police officers, officials and residents gathered together Sunday morning to remember the public safety personnel who were killed Sept. 11, 2001.

A fire engine siren wailed at 8:46 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, 2011, at the Winder fire station. 

The siren sounded at the exact time American Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center a decade ago today as Winder firefighters, police officers, city officials and residents gathered to remember the public safety personnel who were killed on 9/11.

Winder's September 11th Remembrance Day event followed the timeline of the terrorist attacks as a memorial to the 405 firefighters and police officers who died in the line of duty that day and included a reading of the names of those public safety employees.
