PHOENIX, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - Arizona honored the lives lost on September 11th in a virtual remembrance ceremony Friday evening.

Governor Doug Ducey led a remembrance of the 3,000 lives lost in the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona and the Arizona Police Association sponsored the event in memory of their fallen colleagues in New York, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

The ceremony culminated with a tribute in light. Two high-powered beams of blue light near the State Capitol were projected into the Phoenix sky, symbolizing the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
