Riverton is 2,000 miles away from New York City, 1,900 miles from Washington D.C., and 1,700 miles from Somerset County, Pennsylvania.
Residents felt the impact of the 9/11 tragedy and 2001, and remember it vividly 17 years later.
Dozens of local law enforcement, firefighters, veterans, and community members participated in the 16th annual 9/11 Memorial Parade Tuesday morning.
The route was designed especially for students as it weaved throughout Riverton, passing by the middle school and high school, as well as taking a lap down Federal and Main Street.
