“You remember where you were when the first plane hit the World Trade Center?” Jeff Latham asked a crowd gathered at San Marcos City Hall on Saturday.
It’s a memory etched into the minds of many Americans. The images of that fateful Tuesday morning in New York City, Washington D.C. and Shanksville, Pennsylvania are unforgettable — The horror of seeing two commercial airplanes crash into the twin towers, later another into the Pentagon, and one crashing into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers and flight crew are believed to have thwarted off hijackers attempts at attacking the U.S. Capitol.
Saturday morning marked 20 years since the Sept. 11 terror attacks. San Marcans surrounded City Hall for the City of San Marcos’s annual 9/11 ceremony, where members of the San Marcos Fire Department raised the same American flag that flew on that tragic day.
