Beginning at 9:59 a.m. and continuing throughout the ceremony, the Fire Department Honor Guard bell was rung 403 times, one time for each of the public safety personnel who died on September 11, 2001. Forsyth County Fire Chief Danny Bowman welcomed those in attendance and reminded them to never forget those who were lost.
