During the gray hours of Monday morning, Salina’s VFW Post 1432 provided a Patriot Day ceremony to remember the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001.

VFW Post Commander Steve Murrison, a veteran of the U.S. Army, and nine other post members commemorated the day by playing "Taps" alongside three musket volleys.

Before the ceremony began, Murrison told the crowd of family members and a few Salina first responders about remembering America's history and the importance it provides for America's future generations.
