Monday, Sept. 11 will be the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Four planes were hijacked that day; two struck the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third struck the Pentagon and the fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania when passengers fought back against the hijackers and the plane went down, short of its intended target.

“The Modesto Fire Department, Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District, and Turlock Fire Department (MST) invite the communities that we serve, to take part in an exclusive September 11th Memorial Ceremony in your community,” said Modesto Fire Department Deputy Chief Darin Jesberg.
