| Hawai'i remembers its 9/11 victims on Saturday. Image layout from a 2016 Hawai'i News Now report |
NINE PEOPLE WITH HAWAI'I TIES DIED IN THE 9/11 TRAGEDY in 2001. Here are their names and a few words about each one for Saturday's remembrance:
FLAGS WILL FLY HALF STAFF ON SEPT. 11, at the direction of the President of the United States and Gov. David Ige. Both the United States flag and the Hawai'i state flag will be flown at half-staff at the State Capitol and upon all state offices and agencies as well as the Hawai'i National Guard in the State of Hawai'i.
"This action serves to honor and remember the 2,977 people lost in terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and onboard United Flight 93," says a statement issued Friday by the Governor.
"In addition, Sept. 11 marks Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, when the nation also honors first responders – firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency workers, and service members who answered the call of duty, as well as the brave civilians who rushed into action to save lives and help the injured that day. The nation also remembers the patriotism and valor of service members who pursued the attackers and degraded al-Qaida," says the governors message.
Ige says that Saturday will be when "we pause to remember all those affected by the tragic event 20 years ago, and we honor the memories of those we lost – including nine people with ties to Hawaiʻi. Their legacy is now etched in our collective memory and will live on through their stories, as they are passed down to future generations. We also owe our brave first responders a debt of gratitude for their sacrifice and service two decades ago and as they continue to serve our communities in times of crises, including the current COVID-19 pandemic."

PRES. JOE BIDEN ISSUED A 9/11 STATEMENT on Friday, saying, "Twenty years ago, the United States endured one of the most unconscionable tragedies in our country’s history. The cowardly terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and onboard United Flight 93 cut short the lives of 2,977
innocent people. These attacks tore a hole in the heart of our Nation, and the pain of this tragedy still remains. Each year on this somber date, we remember the horror and bravery shown that day, just as we remember how we came together, united in grief and in purpose. Each year, we renew our solemn vow to never forget what happened on September 11, 2001, or those who lost their lives.
"On Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, we honor every life that was taken too soon. We honor the first responders — firefighters, law enforcement officers, emergency workers, and service members — who answered the call of duty, and the brave civilians who rushed into action to save lives that day. Their courage embodies the American spirit and resilience, and their heroism continues to inspire new generations of Americans.
"My mother used to say that 'courage lies in every heart, and one day it will be summoned.' It was summoned and shown by those who responded to the events on 9/11. First responders, emergency
workers, and civilians ran to where the devastation was the greatest, where death came in an instant but where there were survivors to be found; a determined group of heroes onboard United Flight 93 sacrificed their lives to save the lives of others — in every case, Americans faced the unimaginable with resolve and courage. Today and every day, we draw hope from the strength and selflessness of those who stepped up to serve their fellow man and our Nation on that tragic day.
"We also remember the patriotism and valor of our service members who pursued our attackers, delivered justice to Osama bin Laden, and degraded al-Qa’ida. We will keep our sacred obligation to care for our service members and veterans who served in Afghanistan over the last 20 years, as well as their families, caregivers, and survivors.
"Over the last two decades the American people have demonstrated that the harder the circumstances, the more resilient and stronger we become. Our shared love of country and our shared values — regardless of race, gender, religion, origin, or economic status — unite us as Americans against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
The President said that on Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, "We move forward as one Nation, united by our common goal of liberty and justice for all. We remember those killed on September 11, 2001, and honor them through acts of service. I encourage all Americans to visit americorps.gov/911-day to learn about and seek opportunities to serve others on this day and to demonstrate once again that the ideals we hold, which many have tried to attack and destroy, are the very bonds that hold us together — even tighter in times of peril."
