In observance of Patriot Day, the Gatesville Senior and Multi-Service Center recently hosted a luncheon to honor local first responders and to remember those who have fallen due to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2001. The senior center provided hot dogs, sausage wraps, chips, beverages, and a cake, which was prepared by Nutrition Supervisor Camilla Edge.
Patriot Day occurs on Sept. 11 of each year to honor the memory of the victims and first responders who lost their lives due to the terrorist attacks in 2001. The attacks, carried out by the extremist group Al-Qaeda, resulted in the loss of nearly 3,000 lives and left a profound impact on the nation and the world. As Patriot Day continues to be observed each year; it serves as a reminder to never forget the events of Sept. 11, to honor the victims and heroes of that day, and to strive for a future where peace, justice, and mutual respect prevail.
