ZERO IN NEW YORK-- WHERE SEVEN YEARS AGO TODAY-- THE WORLD TRADE CENTER TOWERS CAME CRASHING DOWN-- IN THE WORST TERRORIST ATTACK EVER ON AMERICAN SOIL. MEMORIAL SERVICES ARE TAKING PLACE ACROSS THE NATION TODAY...WITH MANY HELD RIGHT HERE IN NEW MEXICO. SHELTON DODSON IS LIVE WITH OUR TOP STORY ON HOW NEW MEXICANS ARE REMEMBERING THE EVENTS OF 9-11... SHELTON: THE SCARED HEART CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS A SPECIAL CONNECTION TO 9-11 WITH TWO WORLD TRADE CENTER BEAMS INSIDE THE BELL TOWER. A MASS WILL BE HELD HERE AT SIX O'CLOCK TONIGHT... THAT'S JUST ONE OF MANY EVENTS HONORING: THE VICTIMS OF 9-11, THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO DEFEND OUR FREEDOM AND THOSE WHO'VE DIED FOR IT: : 'Amazing Grace on bagpipes -- then pan to officers'.'THEY ARE THE FIRST TO RESPOND TO OFTEN THE LAST PLACE MOST OF US WANT TO BE. AND ON THE 7TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WORST ATTACK ON AMERICAN SOIL... FIREFIGHTERS, POLICE OFFICERS AND ESPECIALLY THE MILITARY WERE HONORED FOR THEIR SERVICE. : 'These brave souls who believe so much in our way of life, who believe so much in your right to be free that they give their last brave and every tomorrow for it. And I remember them every single day.' : 'They are guaranteeing some freedoms that we have that if our country wasn't defended, you know, we wouldn't have those freedoms.': 'Ringing of final alarm 3 rings' THAT FINAL ALARM WAS FOR THE FIREFIGHTERS WHO DIED ON 9-11... THEIR NAMES AMONG THOSE LISTED ON A LONG CANVASS. COUNTY FIRE TRUCKS WERE ALSO DISPLAYED IN FRONT OF MANY STATIONS TO HONOR THEIR FALLEN BRETHREN. IN THE SOUTH VALLEY MANY CAME TO VISIT SACRED HEART CHURCH WHERE TWO WORLD TRADE CENTER BEAMS MAKE UP THE BELL TOWER. IT'S A MEMORIAL FOR SO MANY AND A HISTORY LESSON FOR OUR YOUTH. : 'There are a lot of young people who were not around when that took place and allowing them to have some kind of memory of the history that has taken place.' CHILDREN WERE ALSO THE FOCUS AT CIVIC PLAZA WITH SCHOOLS KIDS RECITING THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE. A REMINDER OF THE FLAG WE HONOR AND THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO FIGHT TO DEFEND IT. 'It is the land of the free because it is the home of the brave.' : 'final 8 seconds of taps' SOME LOCAL FIREFIGHTERS ALSO DID SOMETHING VERY SPECIAL TO HONOR THE FIREFIGHTERS WHO RACED UP THE STAIRWELLS INSIDE THE WORLD TRADE CENTER TOWERS. IT WAS DEFINITELY A LABOR OF LOVE THIS MORNING... WE'LL SHOW IT TO « Less
