Michigan lawmakers commemorate September 11th

LANSING, Mich. (WZMQ) – Today marks 23 years since the September 11 attacks in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New York.

State lawmakers were joined by first responders on the Capitol lawn today to commemorate the day’s events and honor the first responders who continue to risk their lives for the American people.

109th district representative, Jenn Hill, was in attendance alongside Lee Gould, the Fire Chief for Northern Michigan University and Chocolay Township.

Representative Abraham Aiyash (D-Hamtramck) gave the main remarks.

“Perhaps what was most remarkable after that cloudy September morning,” Aiyash said. “Americans from all walks of life, different faiths, different backgrounds, different stories of their journey to this country came together and united in the face of terror.”

Lawmakers from across the state welcomed and honored the first responders in attendance and those who passed away in the line of duty.

Representative Hill said the day is really about remembering the tragedy of what happened September 11th, 2001, as well as the continued sacrifice and dedication of first responders, fire personnel, and public safety officers.

Speakers focused on remembering the lives of everyone impacted that day while emphasizing their role as lawmakers to work together in these divisive times to honor those who worked to protect Americans that day.

Gould said it was a beautiful ceremony and an honor to be a part of the group that gathered together to remember the tragedy of 9/11.

“It means a lot to be here today, We represent the Upper Peninsula, but also to come down with all the fellow firefighters and all the state representatives and the police, emergency responders and to be part of that crowd here today,” Gould said. “Today is the day that we can honor all those first responders across the nation and hopefully encourage those who want to join the service to honor those who are here today.”
