#9/11 maui

A remembrance service was held at the Kahului Fire Station on Maui, marking the 22 year anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001, and honoring the 2,977 people who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and onboard United Flight 93. 

The flags were ordered lowered to half-staff on Aug. 10, to begin a month of mourning for those lost in the Maui wildfires. Flags will be lowered again from sunrise to sundown on Monday, Sept. 11, to mark Patriot Day. 

Just last month, Mayor Victorino visited the memorial in New York, and described the site as “gut wrenching.” He said, “It is today, 20 years later, that we look back and we see the eternal pool.”
