A short but meaningful 9-11 remembrance ceremony followed the
hoppers game. The invocation was offered by the Rev. Michael Smith of the Loudon
First Baptist Church. Next a color guard consisting of over 25 members of the
Loudon and Philadelphia police, fire, and emergency medical personnel led by
Ricky Sutton and Terri Waddell, marched the 100 yard length of the football
field. Each step represented a fallen American of the Terrorist attacks. Miss
Jessica Plemons sang the National Anthem as our flag was proudly raised by the
color guard. The stadium was quiet as we remembered what it meant to be an
American, in America, one nation under God. Amen.
