It’s been almost 20 years since Americans were frozen in front of their television screens watching terrorist attacks unfold in New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. This Saturday, the community will remember the lives lost with a 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony at the International Flag Plaza.
The ceremony will begin at 9 AM on September 11, 2021 at the Plaza located on Thomas Edison Parkway just north of the Blue Water Bridges, and it features law enforcement officers, firefighters, E.M.T.s, and community leaders who wish to memorialize those who gave their lives to help others.
In the case of inclement weather, the ceremony will take place in the public meeting room of the Municipal Office Center in Port Huron.
In order to educate the next generation of Americans about the events of 9/11, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum in New York City in partnership with New York Life Foundation is offering access to a free webinar for students on their website.
Educators and community organizations can register for the on-demand webinar which will include first-person accounts of the attacks and their aftermath along with a live-chat with Museum staff – many of whom are survivors.
