Bend Remembers 9/11

Ten years after the worst terrorist attack in American history, people in Bend pause to remember those lost. Dozens gathered at the Bend Heroes Memorial Sunday morning to pay tribute to the nearly 3000 people who died on September 11th, 2001. Bend Police Sgt. Clint Burleigh says he wanted to honor the first responders who ran toward danger, when others ran away. “I think honor is the best word to describe this for me. There’s 300 plus firefighters and police officers that went into the building when everyone was running out and I hope I have the courage to do that.” The Bend Memorial had speeches. Salutes and a moment of silence.
