Sunday, Sept. 11, 2022, marks the 21st anniversary of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. A Remembrance Ceremony will be held at the Great Falls Freedom Memorial, located at 9830 Georgetown Pike, behind the Great Falls Library. The event will honor and remember the six Great Falls residents who died in the attacks and others who perished or suffered. All ages, including children, are welcome.
Richard L. Haver, former Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Great Falls resident is the keynote speaker. The observance will feature patriotic songs performed by the U.S. Army 29th Infantry Division Band, the sounding of "Taps," and the posting of the colors by Great Falls BSA Troop 55. A candlelight vigil will conclude the event.
Since the memorial has limited seating, guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs. If it rains, the ceremony will take place in the library's meeting room. Check www.gffreedom.org for updates.
