Throughout the weekend in Logan County there were several activities geared to remembering the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.

While the remembrance was a very important part of each event, the events also focused on expressing appreciation toward local first responders.

On Saturday and Sunday, the local Bonanza, owned by Brett Borst, offered free buffet lunches to all first responders.

On Saturday, several city of Lincoln firefighters, members of the Logan County Paramedic Association and officers from the Logan County Sheriff's Department stopped in for a noontime meal. Among the Lincoln firefighters was Tim Aper. As Aper, who has been with the Lincoln department since 1997, made his way around the buffet, he spied a familiar face. He walked over and shook the hand of a firefighter from Emden, Lowell Aper. "We're related," Tim Aper said as the two men sat together and visited. While talking, the senior Aper proudly shared that he has been on the Emden Fire Department for 50 years.

Here are just a few shots of some of our local first responders.
