Honoring Heroes: A 9/11 Memorial at Collin College

Being in the midst of chaos, with flames and debris surrounding you. That's what Gus Cabarcas, a retired New York Police Department sergeant, experienced on September 11, 2001. The 57-year-old spoke at an event at Collin College, where a memorial honoring the fallen first responders and others who died in the terrorist attack was unveiled. The memorial is a reminder that even in our darkest hours, there are heroes willing to give their all to help others. Collin College's efforts to train the next generation of first responders are a testament to this commitment. The memorial is a powerful reminder of the importance of service and sacrifice. But it's also a reminder that we must continue to educate ourselves and future generations about the events of that day. By doing so, we can ensure that the memories of those who died on 9/11 are not forgotten.
