Portland Honors 911 with Service and Tribute | Portland News

Portland honored the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with powerful, heartfelt tributes — from firefighters holding silent moments at exact times the towers fell, to a Red Cross blood drive echoing past acts of courage. Volunteer Jim Stevenson shared raw memories of Ground Zero, where rescue workers lacked proper gear yet kept going. The city rallied with pipe bands, fireboat displays on the Willamette, and even a friendly soccer match between firefighters and police raising food for those in need. Twenty-five years later, Portland proves that remembrance still fuels community spirit and action. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
