It
was a beautiful afternoon when the fourth annual 9-11 First Responders Cookout
was held Saturday, September 16th at Roswell Fire Station #24. Over 300
Roswell First Responders were served hamburgers/hot dogs & brats by over 20
Rotary Members and 12 Interact students representing the Blessed Trinity and
Roswell HS Interact Clubs.
During
the September 11, 2001, attacks, 2,977 people were killed and more than 6,000
others were injured. Of the 2,977 fatalities, 2,753 were killed in the World
Trade Center and surrounding area, 184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania.
These deaths included 265 on the four planes. The attacks remain the deadliest terrorist
act in world history.
We need to thank the Roswell Rotary Club 9-11
Committee Dave Young, Gene Beckham, and Jack Wyche.
