A large crowd gathered at the Fannin County Courthouse on Friday to remember those first responders and citizens who lost their lives on 9-11. 

The welcome was given by John Hoelzel who so graciously organized the Cry Out America, an Invitation to Pray event for Fannin County.  Pastor Ober led the opening prayer followed by songs led by James Passman.

Very pertinent quotes from founding fathers were read by District Attorney Glaser, Mayor Floyd, Bonham City Manager Corby Alexander, District Clerk Nancy Young, and Justice of the Peace Joe Dale.
