Thirteen years after terrorist planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, local public safety personnel gathered at Bulloch Memorial Gardens Thursday to remember those who lost their lives in efforts to save others on Sept. 11, 2001. Statesboro and Bulloch County firefighters joined area police officers and other public safety officials to perform a ceremony in front of a 9/11 memorial monument at the cemetery on U.S. Highway 80. Dressed in formal uniforms, officers and firefighters formed a corridor flanking the Statesboro Fire Department Honor Guard as the guard marched toward the monument in a respectful silence, carrying flags and ceremonial axes.
