In case you didn’t notice, flags are flying at half mast today. Governor Laura Kelly has directed flags throughout the state of Kansas be lowered to half-staff from sunup today to sundown tomorrow, September 11th, to honor those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001.
Kelly says we will never forget the thousands who were injured and the nearly 3,000 Americans whose lives were tragically taken during an act of terrorism 23 years ago and despite the extreme tragedy of the day that scarred so many of us, we also remember the bravery and courage of our nation’s first responders who went above and beyond to save lives – even as they lost more than 400 of their own. Don’t forget. Tell your children and grandchildren about the day that changed their lives forever, even though they may not have been born.
