Tuesday was a day of remembrance across southeast Kansas. It was 12 years ago that two airliners crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, killing thousands, while another attack was prevented by brave passengers aboard Flight 93, which crashed near Shanksville, Pa. In Fort Scott, Gov. Sam Brownback, at right, stopped to address all those who died in the attack, as well as those who have died in the war on terror. There are 7,000 flags planted in the Fort Scott National Historic Site until Sunday, pictured above. At far right, Iola Fire Department personnel took time to remember the emergency personnel lost in the New York City attacks.
