Remembering Patriot Day

September 11, 2025

The Citizen of East Alabama

PHENIX CITY, Ala. (The Citizen of East Alabama) – In Phenix City, a stone monument on the Riverwalk is engraved with the words “In honor of our fallen comrades who lost their lives while trying to save others at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.” The monument serves as a power

Twenty-four years after the September 11 attacks, the U.S. continues to observe Patriot Day as a time for national remembrance and service. This year, communities are honoring the victims and first responders through local events and volunteerism, connecting a national tragedy to local acts of resilience.

In Phenix City, a stone monument on the riverwalk, featuring a firefighter holding a child, stands as a local tribute. Engraved with the words “In honor of our fallen comrades who lost their lives while trying to save others at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001,” the monument serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made.

The 9/11 attacks, the deadliest consecutive terror attacks on American soil, resulted in the deaths of 2,977 people. In New York City alone, 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, and eight EMTs died in the line of duty. Their heroism is a cornerstone of Patriot Day.

This year, local events have focused on service. Carry the Load, an organization that sponsors remembrance programs, partnered with the National Cemetery Administration for a National Day of Service at Fort Mitchell National Cemetery. Volunteers gathered to clean headstones and beautify the grounds. Since 2011, Carry the Load has raised over $45 million to support programs for military and first responders, including counseling, suicide prevention, and educational scholarships.

As the nation marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11, events like these ensure that the sacrifices made are never forgotten. In Phenix City and Russell County, the day serves not only as a time to mourn but also as a testament to the enduring American spirit of strength and hope.
