It’s been 23 years since terrorists flew airplanes into the World Trade Center towers in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and passengers took down a fourth hijacked plane in rural Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001.
On Wednesday morning, Winchester firefighters and police officers honored those first responders who lost their lives with a simple ceremony held outside fire headquarters on Mount Vernon Street.
A small crowd, which included Town Manager Beth Rudolph and Rep. Michael Day, gathered across the street, as a bell was rung and Firefighter Lawrence Bateman read the Firefighter’s Prayer.
At attention, first responders took a moment of silence underneath a large American flag and remembered those who perished.
