(KNZA)--Local communities joined the nation Thursday in commemorating Patriots Day on the 24th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the nation.
The local commemorations included a morning tribute in the Jackson County City of Holton, where veterans from Mary L. Bair American Legion Post #44 and Veterans of Foreign Wars post #1367 were joined by fellow residents at the intersection of US Highway 75 and KS Highway 16 where American flags were waved to mark the anniversary.
Following the flag waving, a short, late morning ceremony was held at Holton's Linscott Park.
Jake Spalding, of the MSC Radio Network, filed this report live from the ceremony.
