BELLE FOURCHE, S.D. – Today is the 25^th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our Nation known simply as “9-11”. Communities across the country are holding ceremonies commemorating that anniversary and honoring those that were lost on that fateful day.

KBHB news correspondent Terry Anderson attended two of those ceremonies this morning and files this report.

The American flags will remain in place at Hermann Park through Saturday for anyone who could not make the ceremony on Friday morning. 

Meanwhile, the Sturgis Veterans Club also held a 9-11 Ceremony this morning.

Post 33 Americanism Officer Randall Bonine (Bow-nine) was the master of ceremonies, and he read the timeline of events that occurred on Sept. 11th, followed by a rifle volley from the Sturgis Honor Guard. A bugler played taps and the American flag was lowered to half-staff. 

Bonine says it’s important to hold these ceremonies each year and for people to take the time to honor those who lost their lives in the 9-11 attacks.
