The large but respectful crowd at the Rockville Fire Hall stands to attention on Sept. 11 during the Veterans Monument dedication on the 15th anniversary of 9/11 as the American flag is raised above the Coldspring-made monument, which consists of three granite tablets at an estimated total cost of about $70,000 that was all privately funded by donations from those wanting to include names etched on the monument.
