Emergency personnel gathered Friday morning at Gainesville's public safety facility for a ceremony in memory of 9/11.
Fourteen years after 9/11, Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch recalled the lives lost in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and how “real heroes still do exist.” “We resolved to not allow this tragedy to break our nation,” Couch said. Law enforcement and state officials gathered Friday at First Baptist Church in Gainesville for a memorial program.
