Sunday Morning, dozens of people were at Stinson Park in Aksarben to remember September 11th.
“We all remember what we were doing when it happened and we think it is a very important day for our country,” said Ron Baker, who came with a group from the Christian Motorcycle Association.
When the clock hit 9:11am, the crowd stood for one minute of silence. The ceremony was all about remembering those who lost their lives, and honoring our first responders who work for us today.
“It still bothers me to see the video of the planes, and you try not to think about it too much,” said Omaha Fire Fighter, Paul Kleffner, “every 9/11 someone will drop cookies off at the station.”
The emotions don't get easier with each passing year, and for some in the crow, they weren't even born, or were too young to remember 9/11.
“We were listening to everyone talk about 9/11 and how important it is to everyone that died,” said nine-year-old Landon Miller.
“You try and do your best to sympathize and feel with the people that were there and witnessed it so you can actually have an accurate representation of people's feelings,” said 16-year-old Alec Rome.
Rome said he came out on Sunday to show his support for America, and while the scars from the attacks will always be there, ceremonies like this show the unity in our country.
“While it was a very tragic event, it show American unity, it shows how we as a people and a country can come together and unite for a common goal, and while there are many things that divide us in this country, at the end of the day we can come together as one country,” said Rome.
