CLEVELAND — Northeast Ohioans paid tribute Thursday to the lives lost 24 years ago on Sept. 11 in New York City with the sixth annual Flags for Honor at Edgewater Park.

Members from the FBI Cleveland Citizens Academy Alumni Association (FBICLEAAA) placed 650 American flags along the south walkway of the park. Each flag has a medallion, representing fallen and active military, FBI agents, first responders, and heroes in day-to-day life.
