On Friday, Sept 11 our nation marked the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with somber ceremonies across the country. In New York at Ground Zero Memorial Park, the names of all 2,983 victims were read aloud. Here in Albuquerque, the city hosted a memorial event in Civic Plaza. Albuquerque fire fighters gathered to complete their annual stair climb, honoring the 343 firefighters killed on Sept. 11 2001.
Our photographer, Roberto Rosales was there to capture it.
