Video: Eisenhower remembers 9/11

Speeches, Walk of Remembrance mark 20 years.

Today U.S. Marine Corps JROTC students Ashley Pozos and Matias Cozzi from Eisenhower High School read a beautiful speech remembering the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as well as the first responders who rushed into burning buildings to save as many people as possible.

USMC JROTC students also participated in an 11-mile March of Remembrance to remember the victims and honor the firefighters, police officers, and other first responders who risked and, in many cases, lost their lives that terrible day.

JROTC instructors SgtMaj. (ret.) Paul Archie and MSGT (ret.) Kazie Hope and their students invested so much work organizing the day.
