Good morning, Council Bluffs.

Council Bluffs Fire Department marked 9/11 with a bell-ringing ceremony outside its station, draping flags over the bell to honor lost lives and first responders.

Captain Curtis Letner—who joined the force nine months before the attack—shared his reflections on how the community came together that day.

A reprinted account honors a Council Bluffs native who lost her life in the 9/11 attacks, reflecting on the 25th anniversary of the event.

The memorial story, originally shared on Sept. 27, 2001, reminds the community — a heartfelt tribute to lasting local impact.

Council Bluffs-area schools are teaching about the 9/11 attacks 25 years later to help students understand a historic event they never experienced (the lessons continue to evolve with history).

Pottawattamie County government will hold a breast cancer awareness fundraiser this fall (titled 'Find Your Fight') to support local patients receiving treatment.
