Remembering 911 Through a Kansas Memorial | Wichita News

Twenty-five years after 9/11, a new memorial in Rose Hill, Kansas, opens this Friday to ensure younger generations never forget the tragedy. Dr. Steve Hodes, who worked at ground zero with search and rescue dogs, recalls the harrowing efforts to find survivors amid the rubble — often hiding with handlers to keep the dogs focused. Over 300 dogs aided recovery at the Twin Towers and Pentagon, as nearly 100 million Americans were too young to remember that day. This poignant tribute, over 1,000 miles from Ground Zero, stands as a community vow to honor the lives lost — with a dedication ceremony set for 10 AM Friday on School Street Pond.
