Delmarva Marks 9/11

Comemorating 9-1, 123rf.com

It was a solemn day across the country…as Americans marked the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon eleven years ago.

At the Heritage Shores in Bridgeville, Delaware cadets from the Junior ROTC program participated in ceremonies held at Woodbridge High School.

Meanwhile, Senator Chris Coons (D-De) said it was a day to not only remember those that were lost but also remind the nation of those who do the country harm.

Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-Md) issued a statement in which she said what she remembered most from that day was the generosity of spirit and the courage of the first responders.
