Honolulu police mark 9/11 anniversary

Sep 11, 2026

Honolulu's police department held a remembrance for the lives lost on September 11, a somber but unifying moment for the city.

  • A youth runner presented Police Chief David Lazar with the Freedom Flag and a piece of steel from the World Trade Center.
  • The handover came out of a Running for Heroes event held the day before.
  • The Freedom Flag was created after the attacks as a national symbol of remembrance.
  • The World Trade Center steel will go on public display.

Outlook: The steel piece stays in Honolulu as a permanent reminder, with similar ceremonies expected each year.
