9/11 Memorial Event

9/11 Memorial Event

In honor of those whose lives were lost or permanently impacted on September 11, 2001, the Boundary County Chaplain Corps is proud to sponsor a local commemoration at the Boundary County Fairgrounds Pavilion on Sunday, September 11, at 3:00 PM. Representatives of emergency services agencies will be in attendance, and the public is urged to attend as we remember and reflect upon one of the most momentous days in our national history.

The commemoration will feature a tolling of the bell to honor those who died at the twin towers in New York, a reading to call all of us to courage and hope, and a final bell toll to honor the dead at the Pentagon, Shanksville, and the first responders that perished in New York that horrific day. The Boundary County Fire Rescue Honor Guard will present the colors.

Please come and demonstrate to our region that Boundary County honors and emulates the courage in the face of tragedy that was so abundantly seen in the events of 9/11. The venue is covered, and the event will take place rain or shine. We are grateful to the support of the community which helped us obtain an excellent sound system this past year to make sure that everyone can clearly hear the presentations. For more information, please contact Chaplain Len Pine at Two Zero Eight-Nine Four Six-Nine Seven Six One.
