Army veteran Ralph Hughes of Jasper, left, and Marine veteran Eric Evitts of Ferdinand lead a group of veterans, firefighters and community members during the Freedom Walk on Sunday. "You know you often hear the term 'time heals all wounds'. Well, time has a way of making people forget too. The kids coming up today weren't here when this event [9/11] happened. And so it's up to us to keep reminding them that there was a day that our country got attacked and a lot of people lost their lives. It's an important part of history that brought us all together and made us realize that we are very vulnerable at times," Hughes said. "Those that see us driving up and down the road, even if it's just for a minute, will go back to that day and remember the number of lives that were lost. That's probably the most important. Even if it's just for a minute. That's what it's all about." Traci Westcott/The Herald
