MADERA COUNTY, Calif. (FOX26) \u2014 A generation has passed since the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil, September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n
County Supervisors, elected leaders, our law enforcement and firefighter communities paused to remember and reflect on the 25th anniversary of 9\/11.<\/p>\n
The annual event centered around the iconic firefighter memorial featuring a unique World Trade Center relic situated in the heart of Madera County at the historic Courthouse Park. <\/p>\n
The centerpiece of the memorial is a salvaged steel beam preserved from the collapse of the World Trade Center, donated to Madera County by Sims Metal.<\/p>\n
It serves as an everyday reminder honoring our fallen firefighters at home, across the state and country, and those who ran into the burning Towers and the Pentagon to save lives.<\/p>\n
The annual remembrance was highlighted by an emotional presentation of colors, keynote speeches, live Taps, the emotional first dispatch call on 9\/11, and a poignant last-alarm tribute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"MADERA COUNTY, Calif.
