Sunday the Kroger on Lincoln's west side offered a couple of special events in remembrance of Sept. 11, 2001.

According to store manager Jan Metz, on Sunday morning at the precise time of the first attack on the World Trade Center 10 years ago, all the managers of all Kroger stores read a special memorial script and called for all store employees and shoppers to stand and observe a moment of silence in remembrance.

Later that morning, Metz, accompanied by deli manager Robin Ingram and Kroger's good will ambassador, Kathy Horn, delivered massive amounts of food to the Logan County Safety Complex Blue Room.

As they decorated and set out food, Metz said that all Kroger stores were offering some special event for local first responders. Horn added that in Lincoln they had invited firefighters from the city and Lincoln Rural departments, the sheriff's office, city police, Logan County Paramedics, emergency management and the 911 dispatchers, and the safety complex jailers.

As they finished setting up, the Kroger crew took time for a photo with Alana Sorrentino of EMA.
