Teen continues honoring 9/11 victims with Freedom Walk

LAKE MILTON

Colton Lockner was only 4 when he saw repeated images on TV of planes striking and bringing down the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001.

Nine years later, he has no plans to forget the significance of that day — and he’s out to make sure others remember, too.

“I hope to see more people remember the men and women, past and present,” said Colton, 13, referring to military personnel and those killed in the terrorist attacks.

That was a main reason he organized Saturday’s “America Supports You Freedom Walk,” the fifth annual event he’s put together, to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the attacks, as well as the service of veterans.
