For one generation, Sept. 11, 2001, is a memory.

For another, it is history.

Twenty-five years after terrorist attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and changed the country, those generations stood together Friday morning outside the Jones County Courthouse in Anamosa to remember a day that some can still picture clearly and others know only through classrooms, photographs and stories.

Twenty-five years later, Anamosa remembers. 🇺🇸

Community members, veterans and first responders gathered Friday morning at the Jones County Courthouse to remember the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, and honor those who ran toward danger when their country needed them most.

For some, 9/11 remains a vivid memory. For a younger generation, it is a chapter in history.

Twenty-five years later, Anamosa gathered to make sure neither forgets.

Never forget. Sept. 11, 2001.
