Every year on September 11th and the days leading up to it we are reminded of the horror and terror reigned upon our country in 2001. How do we give honor to the day and those who lost their lives and sacrificed to save others without giving in to that terror? Travis Snowder, the founder of Heroes Defense in Idaho Falls shares how his organization is bringing a memorial to Eastern Idaho as well as ways you can memorialize the heroism of that day.

Where were you on September 11, 2001? It's a day that changed the face of America forever; but instead of September 11th being a day we remember fear and terror, how do we make it a day we remember blue sky, heroism, and unity of our country? Captain Kevin Calhoun was a fire fighter on site at the twin towers during the 9/11 attacks who lost 6 members of his company. He recounts the happenings of that day, what it was like rescuing while the buildings burned and were under attack, and the many acts of heroism he witnessed as friends and colleagues gave their lives to save their fellow men. Join us in remembering the bravery, the sacrifice, the heroism 9/11 represents and as we learn of ways we can memorialize those that were lost and serve and unify our country in honor of Patriots Day.
