Community Invited to 9/11 Memorial Ceremony
September 09, 2019
Eighteen years ago, on September 11, 2001, the nation was shaken to its core as terrorists seized control of four airliners and killed nearly 3,000 people in the process. To honor the fallen and support the survivors, the community is invited to come together for a 9/11 memorial ceremony at Tallahassee Fire Station 16, located at 913 Easterwood Drive, on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 8:30 a.m.
The service will center around a recounting of the day’s events with remarks from City of Tallahassee leaders and first responders. A moment of silence will be observed to mark the time the first hijacked airliner crashed into floors 93 to 99 of the North Tower (1 World Trade Center). The service will also include the presentation of the United States flag by a combined first responder Honor Guard team.
Event parking will be available at the Capital Area Chapter of the American Red Cross, 1115 Easterwood Drive.
For more information about the event, please call 850-891-6600. Educational resources about the events of 9/11 can be found at 911Memorial.org.
