The calm of a late-summer morning was shattered when coordinated terrorist attacks killed nearly 3,000 — including 412 first responders — on September 11, 2001. In the ensuing weeks and months, the people of the United States of America came together in a way not often seen.
It is that feeling of togetherness that the City of St. George and many community organizations hope to evoke during “Patriot Day: Remembering 9/11” at Historic Town Square.
This multi-day event includes:
* Patriotic program, Sept. 11 at 6 p.m. at Historic Town Square, featuring a bell tribute from the St. George Fire Department, children’s choirs and guest speakers. Kids activities will be available, including patriotic face painting.
* Flag retirement ceremony, Sept. 11 at Town Square, conducted by the Sons of the American Revolution and United We Pledge. This will start immediately after the patriotic program. (approximately 6:50 p.m.)
* Field of Heroes, from September 10 to September 13 on the Town Square lawn, a display American flags, representing first responders who perished on 9/11.
