Fort Lauderdale Honors 911 Victims with Giant Flag | Miami News

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Fort Lauderdale made a powerful statement by hoisting a giant American flag over Broward Boulevard using two fire trucks — a tribute to the nearly 3,000 lives lost, especially first responders. The display, visible to all drivers, honors over 400 fallen law enforcement officers and more than 2,500 civilians, with thousands more later succumbing to illness linked to that day. The flag will remain until 10 AM Monday, as the city also holds its annual remembrance ceremony at 9:30 AM at the Fire and Safety Museum — a moment to reflect on resilience, loss, and the enduring memory of that tragic day.
