Grandparents have a special way of making ordinary moments become some of our favorite memories. ❤️

National Grandparents Day is Sunday, Sept. 13, and we want to celebrate the grandmas, grandpas, nanas, papas and all the special people who fill those roles in our lives.

Send us a photo of your grandparents for a chance to be featured in the Custer County Chief! Old photos, new photos, grandparents with their grandkids, we’d love to see them.

Help us fill the Chief with some of Custer County’s very best grandparents! Don't forget everyone's names!

We are going first with MJ's grandparents, Jack and Mary Griffis, of Cozad. They were married 50 years.

September 11, 2001 is a day etched into American history, but its impact was felt far beyond New York City.

Here in Custer County, residents lined up at gas pumps, churches opened their doors, schools gathered students and the local National Guard was placed on heightened alert. Two days later, the Sept. 13, 2001, edition of the Custer County Chief told the story of how a national tragedy was felt here at home.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger and the countless lives forever changed.

For those who remember that Tuesday morning, Where were you on 9/11? What do you remember about that day?

**Some responses will be featured in the Sept. 10 Chief**
