Across the country, Americans take time each year to reflect and remember the thousands of people who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001. In Lexington, first responders and other community members gathered at Kroger Field to pay tribute to those who died 18 years ago in the terrorist attack.
This year's participants honored those brave men and women by walking the stadium equivalent of 110 flights of stairs - two full trips up and down each staircase from Gate 4 to Gate 9 inside the Wildcats' stadium.
