On St. Mary Parish's Facebook page, a series of posts are dedicated to the officers and cadets showing patriotism on the twentieth anniversary of 9/11.

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office Regional Training Academy Cadets of Session 62 attended the 9/11 ceremony that was held by the Berwick Police Department at the Berwick Lighthouse on Saturday and something special occurred, they say.

During a run with the U.S. flag, the cadets were encountered by a man on a trail who stepped off and is seen covering his heart with his cap as the cadets passed by.

On a day where many remember where they were, "May we all remember those who were lost with the same kind of respect and reverence as the years go by," said St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office.

Additionally, Sheriff Blaise Smith shared:
