They thanked members of the military and law enforcement for their service. Brownback was a sitting U.S. senator in 2001, and he says many in Washington thought more attacks were on the way.
During the ceremony in Topeka, representatives of the armed services, law enforcement and first responders were presented with wreaths to thank them for their service.
