Remembering Alfred Marchand from Alamogordo

While almost 3,000 people died in the September 11, 2001 attacks, and every life lost was a tragedy, many in Southern New Mexico were especially saddened when they learned that Alfred Marchand, 44, of Alamogordo was a flight attendant with United Airlines.

     Marchand enlisted in the military after graduating from Shanley High School in Fargo, N.D. A year later, he left the service, when his father died, and became a police officer in New Mexico. He spent 21 years in law enforcement.      When he retired he became a flight attendant with United. Rest in Peace Alfred Marchand as we remember you this day.
