The school day began with a moment of remembrance at Western Hills High School as the Cougar Pride Alliance honored the lives lost on September 11, 2001.
JROTC students read the presidential proclamation before lowering the American flag to half-staff. As the flag came down, band director Miss Hinds played TAPS, bringing a quiet and moving moment to the morning.
Members of the Fort Worth and Benbrook police departments and the Benbrook Fire Department joined students and staff for the observance.
Twenty-five years after 9/11, the ceremony gave a new generation of Cougars a chance to remember a day they did not personally experience and honor those whose lives were lost or forever changed.
