Local 9/11 remembrances

It's become a tradition in Shelbyville for law enforcement and emergency agencies to fly a large American flag across from Shelbyville Fire Department on Sept. 11 to mark the 2001 attacks on America. This year was no different as the flag flew Wednesday. (T-G Photo by David Melson)
