The City of Natchitoches joined communities across the nation in honoring the lives lost on September 11, 2001.

City utility trucks displayed a large American flag on Thursday as a tribute to the victims, first responders, and all who showed extraordinary courage in the face of tragedy. The display served as a visible reminder of the resilience and unity that continue to define the American spirit.

City officials encouraged residents to take time to reflect on the sacrifices made on that day and to honor the legacy of those who stood in service to others.
