Keizer Fire District (KFD) hosted their annual 9/11 remembrance ceremony on
Saturday — the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks — with a few dozen people
in attendance.
“While we will remember those that we lost, let us also be thankful for the ones
who answer the call every day,” said Fire & Life Safety Specialist Cody Heidt.
Sarah Mutinelli, director of the Young Singers Club Salem, sang the National
Anthem and Mayor Cathy Clark, along with KFD Board President Chet Patterson
placed the memorial wreath.
KFD Fire Chief Jeff Cowan concluded the morning with a speech, praising the
resiliency of America.
“We mourned together the great loss. Together we cried and we grieved. We lit
candles for hope. We fell to our knees for prayer and strength. Then we rose together
as one nation under God.," he said.
