VIDEO: Monday marks 22 years since the devastating events of September 11, 2001. A number of groups and organizations around Southern Colorado are remembering the day and honoring the nearly 3,000 lives lost with a handful of ceremonies. Local firefighters and military personnel from across the state will hike the Manitou incline. Firefighters will carry a flag with all the names of the first responders who lost their lives in the attacks. The incline was chosen because it's the closest representation to the Twin Towers in Southern Colorado, according to the organizer. Fort Carson will also host a ceremony at 10:00 a.m. on Monday at Kit Carson Memorial Park at the main gate. There will be a flyover with Fort Carson aircraft and a wreath-laying ceremony.
