We
are
mindful
today
of
those
who
put
their
lives
on
the
line
and
at
risk
for
the
benefit
of
and
the
wellness
of
our
community
and
we're
thankful
for
them.
Lord.
We
pray
that
you'd
watch
over
and
protect
them
and
today,
as
We
Gather,
to
remember
the
sacrifice
of
the
Brave
who
have
sacrificed
themselves
for
the
good
of
others.
D
D
And
we're
here
for
the
21st
anniversary
of
9
11
today
and
I
want
to
make
mention
of
a
few
people
in
groups,
first
of
all,
Ascension
funeral
home
and
Rouse
supermarkets
for
the
food
and
snacks
and
drinks
for
you
today.
Here
we
appreciate
their
their
long
time
supporters
and
helpers
in
our
Endeavor
to
do
this
Memorial
each
year.
We
appreciate
that
very
much
Ascension
Parish
Sheriff's
Office.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
vital
partner,
good
friends
and
and
co-servants
with
us
out
in
the
community.
D
We
thank
y'all
for
being
here
and
supporting
us
as
we
do.
This
law
enforcement
took
a
tremendous
loss
on
that
day.
Just
like
the
fire
service
did
on
9
11
2001.,
the
firefighters
Chiefs
other
staff,
members
of
Ascension,
Parish,
Fire,
District,
three
that
are
here
today.
They
are
the
the
backbone
that
makes
this
place
go
around
as
I
often
say,
I'm,
the
one
that
gets
to
stand
up
here
in
front
of
people
and
talk
and
be
on
camera
or
whatever
that
might
entail.
But
I
know,
and
probably
most
of
you
out.
D
D
You
know
I
know
you
might
look
at
me
and
think
so,
but
I
wasn't
here
when
Pearl
Harbor
happened,
but
I
knew
all
about
it,
because
we
were
taught
about
that
and
we
were
taught
about
a
day
that
we
live
in
infamy
and
how
important
it
was
to
this
country
and
I.
Think
911
is
the
same
way.
A
lot
of
people
refer
to
it
as
another
day
that
will
live
in
infamy
after
it
happened,
but
you
know
when
it
gets
to
this
time
of
year.
D
D
A
Man
became
a
memory
all
in
one
moment.
So
that's
how
quickly
things
can
change
and
I
also
kind
of
got
one
other
little
thing
I
like
to
add
on
to
that
and
and
that
and
that
one
day
at
one
moment
and
in
days
and
the
weeks
after
that,
we
actually
became
one
country
for
a
while,
and
that
isn't
always
the
case
nowadays
and
it's
a
shame
sometimes
that
it
takes
an
event
as
catastrophic
as
that
was
to
bring
a
country
together.
D
So,
as
we
get
21
years
down,
the
road
I
was
thinking
earlier,
the
last
few
days,
most
things
probably
about
9
11
have
been
said
and
I'm,
not
a
smart
enough
man
or
or
anything
else,
to
try
to
come
up
with
a
bunch
of
things
that
somebody
smarter
than
me
hadn't
already
said
about
it.
I
think
the
key
thing
is
that
we
remember
and
that's
what
we
try
to
do
here
in
the
fire
service,
especially
Fire,
District,
3
and
I
know.
D
Our
law
enforcement
Partners
do
is
to
make
sure
people
remember
this,
because
you
know
again.
This
was
a
deep
wound
to
our
country,
but
you
know
even
more
so
to
those
in
those
of
us
in
emergency
response.
You
know
we
took
a
tremendous
loss
of
life.
You
know
never
before
seen.
Certainly
in
one
event
in
the
fire
service
and
the
law
enforcement
Community
just
never
before
it
was,
it
was
catastrophic.
D
D
You
know
we
well
more
than
a
couple
of
years,
a
number
of
years
back,
we
came
up
with
the
the
idea
when
it
was
offered
by
the
Port,
Authority
police
and
Association
in
New
York
that
they
were
going
to
allow
some
Public
Safety
agencies
to
be
able
to
obtain
a
piece
of
steel
or
something
from
the
towers.
You
know
I
immediately
said,
that's,
that's
us.
It
means
a
lot
to
me.
We
jumped
on
it.
We
got
our
piece
of
Steel.
D
We
took
it
around
for
years
to
the
schools
to
let
these
kids
see
that
we
had
it
in
our
lobby
here
for
people
to
come
in
and
see
but
a
lot
of
times.
You
know
after
business
hours.
You
know
it
was
not
accessible
for
people
to
get
in
and
see
it.
So,
a
couple
of
years
ago,
one
of
our
Board
of
commissioner
members,
her
partner
in
their
business
son,
was
going
through
entering
into
doing
his
Eagle
Scout.
They
always
look
for
and
have
to
have
a
project
to
work
on,
so
they
said.
D
Is
there
something
we
can
do
for
the
fire
department?
Yeah
matter
of
fact
there
is.
We've
been
looking
to
do
something
and
we'd
like
to
get
that
piece
of
Steel
moved
outside
where
people
can
come
by
at
any
time
see
it
touch
it
not
take
it
but
see
it
touch
it
and
deal
with
it
and
just
touch
a
piece
of
history
that
that's
there
for
them
to
see
and
and
remember
with,
and
so
we
did,
we
moved
it
out
by
our
flagpole.
It
has
its
own
spot
of
prominence.
D
I'll
mention
his
name
but
I'm,
not
exactly
sure
if,
if
it's
his
quote
or
or
he
got
it
from
somewhere,
but
the
plaque
out
there
by
the
piece
of
Steel
says
for
those
who
died
for
those
who
served
and
for
those
who
carry
on-
and
you
know,
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
able
to
serve
many
died,
but
all
of
us
carry
on.
So
all
of
us
carry
some
memory.
If
you
were
born,
and
here
that
day,
when
that
happened,
you
you
have
some
memory
of
that
day.
You
know
much
like.
D
D
Don't
think
there
was
really
that
many
people
there,
but
when
you
talk
to
people,
everybody
was
there,
but
everybody
everybody
that
was
around
on
9
11
2001
remembers
where
they
were
that
day,
how
they
first
heard
the
news,
how
the
rest
of
their
day
went
and,
and
the
days
and
weeks
following
that,
so
I
wanted
to
keep
things
short
today.
So
I
appreciate
you
showing
up
and
when
we
finish
you
know-
and
you
have
some
refreshments
and
other
things
we
were
fortunate
enough.
D
Finally,
you
know
we've
been
able
to
move
this
thing
in
from
the
truck
bay
over
there,
where
it
was
about
98
and
about
99.5
humidity
for
many
years
and
and
difficult
to
hear
and
deal
with.
So
now
we
have
an
air-conditioned
spot
to
do
this,
but
I
encourage
you
before
you
leave.
If
you
have
it
go
over
by
the
flagpole
and
visit
the
piece
of
Steel
read
the
plaque
touch
it
do
anything.
D
It
won't
take
pictures
anything
but
take
a
few
moments
to
remember:
9
11
and
what
it
means,
and
although
this
is
not
the
actual
date
that
will
be
Sunday,
I
ask
again
come
Sunday
that
you
take
a
few
moments
and
remember
you
know
what
went
on
21
years
ago
on
that
date
and
again,
thank
you
very
much
for
attending.
We
appreciate
your
support
and
coming
to
enjoy
the
refreshments
and
the
moment
and
help
us
to
keep
the
word
out
there
to
remember
9
11..
Thank
you.
E
Good
morning,
I'm
deputy
chief
Pat
Carpenter
as
I,
read
the
timeline
out
from
9
11.,
just
as
Chief
said
think
Sunday
morning,
when
you
go
preparing
your
day,
going
to
church
getting
stuff
with
the
family
going
to
the
park
and
stuff
think
about
the
lies
that
were
changed
that
day
and
here's
our
timeline
and
these
times
are
Eastern
Standard,
Time
8
46
a.m.
World
Trade,
Center,
North
Tower
was
hit
by
American
flight
11.
E
B
I'll
Now
read
the
names
of
the
Louisiana
victims
from
the
911
memorial.
One
of
my
ideas
with
this
is
the
idea
of
Courage
right
and
courage
and
bravery
mean
knowing
you
may
face
an
unfavorable
outcome,
but
stepping
forward
anyway,
and
these
these
victims
didn't
hesitate
to
step
forward.
Nowhere
did
our
brothers
and
sisters
in
the
fire
service
that
paid
their
lives
that
day
so
as
I
read,
these
victims
think
about
and
pay
remembrance
to
their
honor
Lieutenant
Navy,
the
U.S
Navy
Lieutenant
Scott
Michael
lamanna
31
Baton
Rouge
foreign.
E
E
E
This
is
the
tradition
of
the
firefighter
the
fire
service
of
today
is
ever
changing,
but
is
steeped
in
Traditions,
200
plus
years
old.
One
such
tradition
is
the
ringing
of
the
Bell
in
the
past,
as
firefighters
began.
Their
tour
of
Duty
is
the
Bell
that
signaled
the
beginning
of
their
day's
shift
throughout
the
day
and
night.
E
Each
alarm
would
sound
by
a
bell
which
summoned
those
brave
souls
to
fight
fires
and
to
place
their
lives
in
Jeopardy
for
the
good
of
the
fellow
citizen,
when
the
fire
service
was
out
when
the
fire
was
out
and
the
worm
had
come
to
an
end,
it
was
the
Bell
that
signaled
the
completion
of
that
call
when
a
firefighter
had
died
in
the
line
of
duty
paying
the
Supreme
sacrifice.
He
was
the
mournful
toll
of
the
Bell
that
solemnly
announced
the
comrades
passing.
E
We
utilize
these
Traditions
as
symbols
which
reflect
the
honor
and
respect
to
those
who've
given
so
much
and
served
so
well
to
this
symbol.
The
Devotion
to
these
brave
souls
had
for
their
Duty
the
special
signal
of
five
rings.
Three
times
each
represents
the
end
of
our
comrades
duties
and
they'll
be
returned
into
quarters.
E
C
Let's
pray
together
dear
Lord,
as
we
remember
the
lives
that
were
lost
that
day
that
were
given
that
day,
Lord
I
pray
for
the
loved
ones
of
those
who
still
miss
them.
Very
personally,
Lord
I
pray
that
you
would
be
a
comfort
in
peace
in
this
season
of
the
year,
Lord
I
pray,
and
we
ask
that
you
would
watch
over
our
fire
services,
our
law
enforcement,
these
who
willingly
and
readily
put
themselves
in
the
way
of
danger
and
choose
that
place
for
the
benefit,
protection,
safety
and
good
of
another
Lord.
We
thank
you
for
them.
C
We
pray
that
you
would
continue
to
give
them
the
courage
that
they
need
pray,
that
you
would
give
their
families
the
faith
necessary
to
just
live
without
fear.
In
the
midst
of
all
of
those
troubles
they
face
and
Lord,
we
pray
your
protection
over
them.
We
pray
to
watch
over
them
that
you
give
them
success
in
what
they
do
and
Lord
I
pray
that
we,
the
citizens
of
a,
would
be
grateful
not
just
in
these
moments
but
regularly
for
those
who
serve
us
all
in
such
a
way.
D
Okay-
that
concludes
the
ceremony.
So
again,
please
thank
you
again
for
for
being
here
taking
time
out
of
your
day
to
come,
respectfully,
remember,
9,
11
and
what
it
means
to
the
emergency
services
in
this
country
as
a
whole.
Please
stay
and
enjoy
Refreshments
again
provided
by
Ascension
funeral
home
and
Ralph's
Supermarket
and
again
before
you
leave,
take
a
moment
to
go,
buy
the
piece
of
Steel
out
there
and
reflect
upon
911.
So
thanks
again,
and
you
all
enjoy
some
refreshments.
