Air Force Chaplain Capt. Michael Breznau led hundreds in a 2.5-mile run/walk on the base flight line at Wright-Patterson to remember the fallen on the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

Johnathan Fairhurst and Chloe Young, born after 2001, honor Sept.

11 by sharing family stories+lessons learned in local schools and through personal rituals. They visit the memorial to remember nearly 3,000 lives lost.
