Commemorating 9/11­

U.S. flags and other patriotic displays lined Main Street on Tuesday,  the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001,  terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people when four airliners crashed into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.

A group of Ramonans wave flags as drivers honk their horns late afternoon on Tuesday, Sept. 11, in front of the Ramona U.S. Post Office branch at Main Street and Montecito Road. Participant Jim Tapscott said the gathering was non-political and non-partisan, and was organized “to commemorate what happened 11 years ago.” Sentinel photo/Karen Brainard
