Today marks the six month anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks in New York City and at the Pentagon.
Last night, New York firefighters took time out to praise their fallen comrades, after seeing new pictures that captured the initial moments after the attacks.
And later today, President Bush will host a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House.
Officials expect some 13-hundred people to attend, including 300 family members of the terror attack victims.
Chris Lawrence is in New York today, and joins us now with an update.

Brush fires have also been a problem in Roanoke County. Crews were called to the top of Fort Lewis Mountain off of Bear Creek Circle around 8:30 yesterday morning. They quickly got a line around the fire but it jumped the line several times due to wind gusts that reached as high as 40 miles an hour. The fire is contained at this hour, but firefighters are still on the mountain this morning keeping a close eye on it.
No word yet on what started the blaze.

Butch Church has proposed an ordinance that would allow the county to recover the expense of responding to wrecks caused by drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol. There were 319 D-U-I arrests last year in Roanoke County, 15-percent of which were accidents. The fees would range from 500 to a thousand dollars and would be in addition to any criminal penalties.

When it gets hot outside, a dip in the pool is usually the coolest place in town. But your summer plans could be put on ice if the number of available lifeguards continues to take a dive.

Working at it takes time and money.
Training can last up to seven weeks and cost nearly two hundred dollars per person.
That along with low unemployment are contributing to a nationwide lifeguard shortage.

AEROBIC EXERCISE RELEASES ENDORPHINS, THOSE HEALTHY FEEL GOOD CHEMICALS.

A different take on the story came from a viewer (Debra Ray) in Gretna: "I would like to know what this child could have possibly done in such a short amount of time to deserve being shot. This is a crime against an innocent child. This child was very active in sports and was a good student in school. She almost managed to live for 16 years without being in trouble the first time. The family is in a great deal of pain and hearing the things that are being said is very hurtful."
