About 60 people stood under Thursday’s overcast skies for the early morning ceremony in Kennewick, observing the 24th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Key moments of the remembrance included changing of the guard, moments of silence when the planes crashed and bell ringing to honor line-of-duty deaths for the first responders killed.

The event was at the 9/11 Memorial at Kennewick’s Southridge Sports & Events Complex at 2901 Southridge Blvd.
The site includes a 35-foot piece of steel weighing 3 tons from the World Trade Center complex, which was hauled to the Tri-Cities through the efforts of Lampson International, the city of Kennewick and the Port Authorities of New York and New Jersey.
