Kilgore College held its annual 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony on Sept. 11 in the Devall Student Center Ballroom on the Kilgore campus.
The ceremony highlighted the role of aviation’s first responders and presented a program that placed attendees in the symbolic seats of passengers aboard the four flights involved in the attacks.
The event recognized those who died on Sept. 11, 2001, as well as others who lost their lives in the years that followed.
“Kilgore College is proud to host this important remembrance,” said Johnny Zackary, KC’s associate dean of public safety. “It is our duty to honor the courage, sacrifice and resilience shown on that day, and to ensure that future generations never forget the impact of 9/11. The community was invited to attend this solemn event of reflection, unity and remembrance.”
