Yesterday the Maxwell-Gunter community gathered for a ruck march to honor the 20th anniversary of those who gave their lives and perished in the attack Sept. 11, 2001. "If you have children, especially if they're younger, please take a few moments to talk to them about what happened to the nation as we unified that day. Everyone in the United States, no matter what their background was, no matter where they were from... all became Americans that day." -Maj. Gen. William Holt, Lemay Center Comman
