here in las vegas went through. today they remembered that... and all of the lives lost with a ceremony for the fallen. we were scared, literally, because you just thought that something might happen in our community that would affect our people at the same time. (nat bell ring) it was very hectic because at the time, everybody in the united states didn't know what the next target was. there was actually rumors that several other cities were the next target and we didn't know if las vegas was gonna be the next target. we g as quickly as we could. we came up with plans. the aircraft had shut down, there were people stranded. there was talk about our email systems being infiltrated. (nat bell ring) the mayor needed someone to assist story--- is a method firefighters used

throughout this story--- is a method firefighters used to cmu with each other during emergencies. in today's ceremony... they stuck with that tradition-- to honor the firefighters who were killed. firefighters met downtown this evening for a 9-11 tribute. they marched to honor fallen heroes of that tragic day. the las vegas firefighters benefit association started the annual event in 20-03. nearly 4-hundred guests who took part in the march... received an american flag donated by

bag-pipers kicked off the night... before a moment of silence... and supporters marched under a fifty foot american flag. ". its very important to us that we do this every year so that people do not forgett and so they always remeber what a tragic day that was...how important the job of a fire fighter has and how you never know what dangers you're gonna get into." along with the three hundred and forty three firemen who lost their lives 15 years ago... 60 police officers also died on that tragic day. the terrorist ta changed the hearts and minds of many americans. it also impacted security measures across the country--- especially at airports. ask almost anyone where they were on september 11-th 2001... and they can tell you the exact spot. : "i was in gym class " "i remember my parents calling me into my bedroom and watching the second tower get hit" "at first we

accident but then a few minutes later we heard about the second plane and everybody kind of went in panic mode" 15 years later... and the panic mode may be over. but our country is still not the same. : "a lot of stuff has changed in security. airport security, flight security, walking security.." travelers at mccarran international airport say they notice heightened security--- with more checks... and limits on items they can fly with. some people we talked to... say the extra steps make them feel safer. : "it's necessary, i feel it's necessary to keep our country safe" but others feel frustrated that the procedures are sometimes inconsistent. : "i had to check my bag because i had to put facewash in by bag because i couldn't take it with me, but i brought it from here to there, it's kinda confusing because every airport is different" "i feel like there's a lot of profiling when you go through security, like even today, my bag got super checked and there wasn't anything in there"

20-01... some say the way they choose to travel has changed too. "it's become much more difficult to fly, it's much more concerning, we do travel a lot more by car than we fly" the attacks also lead to the creation of the transportation security administration or t-s-a. a group of veterans has a creative way of spreading awareness. why these guys with big beards--- are suiting up in little shorts. and after he was abducted almost 30 years ago-- how people across minnesota are honoring jacob wetterling.

time in my life." jesse explained the irreverent warriors is meant to boost veterans moral... a modern day mobile v-f-w hall... o' malley says: "a buddy of mine killed himself and i wanted to do something to bring veterans together." donny o' malley is the national founder... he said while it originally started as focusing solely on suicide prevention... its evolved... o' malley says: "the intent is to start the day with a laugh like immediately you see these big dudes with bears and little shorts you can't be serious." each veteran walking 22 kilometers and carrying 22 kilograms in honor of the painfully real daily veteran suicide rate... this weekend extra special... sunday is 15 years since 9/11. o' malley says: "i'd say 90 percent of the people here enlisted into the military because of 9/11..." so, the next time you see a group like this walking down your street... don't run away... give them a proper salute... they've earned it. that was joe saint george reporting.
