Tonight, the City of Cullman gathered at Depot Park, where the twin blue lights shone brightly in remembrance of September 11, 2001. First responders, city employees and community members stood together in solemn reflection, honoring the lives lost and the heroes who answered the call with courage and sacrifice. For community member Brandon Kroelinger, the remembrance was deeply personal. He came to honor the memory of two friends he lost that day—Chandler Raymond Keller, a passenger on Flight 77, and Jeannine Marie Damiani-Jones, who was in the North Tower. As a community, we pause to honor their memory, to stand with those who still carry the weight of loss, and to reaffirm our promise: we will never forget🇺🇸 #NeverForget #WeRemember #911Tribute
