Taking
Time to Remember 9-11
September
11, 2001 will be etched in our minds forever. On September 10, 2004, Cherokee
County held a memorial service for the victims of 9-11 and their families
and loved ones. State Representative Calvin Hill opened the ceremony and
introduced the guest speaker Congressman John Linder. Congressman Linder
spoke of our need to remember our military service personnel who put their
lives on the line daily in an effort to keep our country safe. He also
reminded those in attendance that we must all do our part to help the
next generation to understand the tragedy that occurred on September 11,
2001 and to guard against a re-occurrence. Cherokee High School Band instructor
Pam Mullins led the band in a musical tribute, and during a moment of
silence, sirens were sounded. Cherokee High School senior Lee Thomas and
Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services Sgt. Bryan Thomas then played
taps.
