Buzz Jackson, Program Director, KiiM-FM 99.5, said: “We wanted to give the community a place to reflect and remember the heroes and victims of 9/11 on the 20th anniversary. We thank our partners at Saguaro Solar, Tucson Fire Department, Northwest Fire Department, Tucson Police Department and Pima Country Parks & Recreation for their support in making this memorial a reality. We will never forget.”
