Local first responders and the public are invited to attend. Watch a live streaming video without audio of the ceremony at http://nelsonvillechamber.com/index.php/live-stream. The memorial service will start at 8:46 AM, the time American Airlines Flight 11, flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. Additional times will be commemorated at,

  • 9:03 AM, When United Airlines Flight 175 flew into the South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City.
  • 9:37 AM, When American Airlines Flight 77 flew into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia.
  • 10:03 AM, When United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Local emergency responders, along with the citizens they protect, are encouraged to take time out of their workday to commemorate the terrorist attacks in New York City, and Washington, D.C., and the bravery of the passengers that went down with the plane in Shanksville, PA on September 11, 2001.  The commemoration ceremonies will honor the 2,507 civilians, 72 law enforcement officers, 343 firefighters, 10 emergency medical workers, and 55 military service personnel who lost their lives, or gave their lives saving others.  Many first responders are still fighting for their lives, and others are losing their lives, because of their response to Ground Zero.  Each year we lose a few more.

Everyone is encouraged to take a few minutes and acknowledge the loss to the country and the victim’s families…mark the day, and remember…, so that WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
