OCEAN CITY, Md. – In Ocean City, people are gathering to show their support and honor the lives that were lost on 9/11.

The Red Knight MotorCycle Club and fellow brothers met up on 27th street of Ocean City for a day of remembrance for the events that happened on September 11th, 2001.

Vice President of Maryland Three Red Knights Jerry Rhue said that he lost a loved one on that day.

“My father was a 50 year volunteer fire fighter and he died in 2001.”

The Red Knight MotorCycle Club – firefighters and EMS workers riding in solidarity on the ocean city boardwalk – in support of the families who lost someone during 9/11.

Thomas Parker is a fire fighter in Ocean City, and say he hopes people never forget the tragedy that happened on September 11th, 2001.

“We do this to keep the memory of the ones who lost their lives in New York, and everywhere really with the Pentagon and Pennsylvania its just a shame.”

“People have forgotten. You can ask people here, what is 911? They think it is another day, or a holiday and its just.. people have forgotten.”

First responders are flying American, thin blue line and military flags on their motorcycles to support the country they love and the heroes who gave their lives.

“Doing this, we keep it alive,” Parker said. “Keep their memory strong.”

9/11 is a difficult day for many people who lost loved ones, and people mourning say to cherish every moment you can with the ones you love.

A wife who lost her husband on September 11, 2001, said, “Tomorrow is not promised and live for today because you never know.”

People gathering together and honoring those lost may be the support families need.

“Things like this, veterans, everyone else who has also felt it on a personal level, I am very grateful for their output and support. And how much they help.”

Thomas Parker wanted to emphasize to “never forget” the hero’s who gave their lives.
