Good morning, Columbus.

At Fort Benning, graduating soldiers march past the Global War on Terrorism monument that holds a steel beam from the World Trade Center and a plaque honoring Col. Rick Rescorla for saving around 2,700 people on 9/11—his brave actions continue to remind us of the sacrifice made on that tragic day.

Volunteers worked to beautify Fort Mitchell Cemetery on 9/11 (Patriot Day) to honor heroes as part of a nationwide effort.

House of Heroes in the Chattahoochee Valley hosted its 6th annual Bids & Bubbly event to raise funds for local causes, drawing donors and community supporters.

The event showcased a lively spirit as residents came together to support the charity effort.

Blanchard Elementary’s flag, created by over 650 students after 9/11, is now on permanent display at Columbus State University.

The flag helped children share their feelings and was later honored at the Pentagon—showing its lasting impact on the community.

An interview on a Sickle-Cell awareness walk-a-thon explained the event’s goals—highlighting plans to boost support and education about the disease within the community.
