City ceremony marks 9/11 anniversary

A City of Rocky Mount remembrance of 9/11 on Friday morning just outside the municipal complex downtown provided reflections by Fire Chief Corey Mercer and Police Chief Robert Hassell, as well as Mayor Sandy Roberson reading a proclamation.

Roberson said, “We urge our citizens to recognize the heroism of our firefighters, rescue (and) law enforcement personnel, military service members and many volunteers who responded to these tragic events with courage, selfless compassion, determination and skill — and to remember the victims and innocent lives lost as a result of the tragic events of Sept. 11 in 2001.”
