Almost 3,000 people were killed that day, and the Global War on Terrorist (GWOT) was declared by the United States government.
The JROTC Cadets were tremendous honored to perform the Color Guard in observance of this tragic day, and pay their respect to the men, women and children that perished that day, and the sacrifices of our service members and their families fighting for our freedom.
