Marlene Radzik, Saline’s Deputy Police Chief added, “On the 20th Anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, let us remember the 2,977 men, women and children who lost their lives on this fateful day. Let us honor the first responders who witnessed unfathomable loss. Let us remember how we came together to support one another and continue, as a nation, to show strength, compassion, unity and resilience.”
