The 15-year anniversary of the 9-11 terror attact that killed nearly 3,000 people was remembered locally Friday.
Diane Sherwood, president of the Remember Rally group, organized a time capsule dedication in the Rock County library to remember those who sacrificed at Ground Zero and to thank and honor local fire responders.
"We feel it is important to remember the events of 9-11, and how people are still affected. Thousands of rescue workers are sick, and over 1,000 rescue workers have died from 9-11 related illnesses." Sherwood said. "Cancer in rescue workers have tripled in the last three years."
The time capsule includes photos and information about 9-11 and many items telling the story of Luverne that represent 2016. It will be later movd to the new History Center downtown and will be opened in 10 years on the 25th anniversary of 9-11. The motto of the capsule is "To learn from the past and for the future."
