Lincoln Police Department officer Cameron Hruza takes a moment to catch his breath in the north end zone after the 9/11 memorial stair climb on Friday, Sept. 11, 2026, at Memorial Stadium. “Honestly, it's a great exercise, but more importantly, as a first responder, 9/11's a really big deal for us.” Hruza said. “It's something that's constantly brought up in our line of work. Getting out here for the memory of something that happened when I was a year old, but my parents were both police officers when it happened, so it hit a little closer to home for us. It's always good to get out here and just help help the remembrance of it.”

When asked why it was important for people to remember 9/11, Kuszak stated: “Ultimately, I think it's really just a picture of what America is at its best. It was an incredibly tragic moment for our country, but it was also a moment that allowed us to all come together as countrymen and women and stand together to support everything that makes this country great.”
