On Sunday September 11th,
2011 the San Francisco Giants once again battled against the
L.A. Dodgers, at AT&T Park. Although it was a game of rivalry,
they united to remember and honor the victims who tragically
lost their lives on September 11th, 2001.
The Giants paid a
tribute with an emotional pre-game ceremony commemorating the
victims of the 9/11 attacks. Participants included in the
ceremony were the San Francisco Fire and Police Department, San
Francisco Sheriff’s Department, pilot & flight attendant
representatives, and the San Francisco Giants and L.A. Dodgers
team. Fans attending the game were given a 9/11 Remembrance card
with a name of a victim printed on it at the park entrance.
Sentimental fans
patriotically rallied American flags showing pride and support
for our country. San Francisco police officers guarded each gate
outside the stadium while watching the game. I spoke with SFPD
Officer Jordan Oryall who shared his thoughts and feelings about
9/11, “It’s upsetting,” he said. “But it makes you appreciate
who and what you have. It’s been ten years and we haven’t had
any attacks on American soil since then. I believe our fight
against terrorism is going well.” Story
