Remembering 9-11

8:46 AM represented the time when the first airplane crashed into one of the World Trade Center Towers. The Gary Job Corps Center’s Security and Corrections Academy cadets stood at attention as the Honor Guard lowered the American flag and Lorraine Lane, Executive Center Director spoke about why 9-11 is remembered and not forgotten.
