(MSC News)--Today is the anniversary of the September 11 attack on the nation, and heeding the call to "Never Forget," flags will fly at half-staff today to honor those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of 2001.
Flags in Kansas will fly in that formation, from sun-up to sun-down today, through the direction of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly. Kelly, in a release, says that "the extreme tragedy of that day is only half the story," adding that "we also remember that our country's brave first responders went above and beyond the call of duty to save lives-even as they lost more than 400 of their own."
