First Responders Remember Their Fallen Brothers On 9-11 At The Capitol

9-11
Chris Fox

The sounds of bagpipes rung out throughout the halls of the State Capitol in honor of those who lost their lives on 911.

First Responders (Police, Firefighters and paramedics) from all over Texas who make up the Emergency Service Pipe and Drum Association came together in the State Capitol rotunda to remember their fallen brothers 18 years after the 911 attacks. 


This is the 17th anniversary of 9/11 that they've played in the State Capitol.

Lead Bagpiper Andre De La Reza is a Lieutenant with Austin Fire Department. He says their hope is that this is a yearly reminder not only of our loss but a call for people to make the country a better place.

"We come together not only to remember and honor the lives of those who've given, but also to inspire and to help each other…it's a day of service for everyone."
