A ceremony at the Great Falls Freedom Memorial will honor 9/11 victims on the 18th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
“Six residents of Great Falls perished in the 9/11 attacks,” according to Great Falls Freedom Memorial.
The annual remembrance ceremony on Wednesday (Sept. 11) is set to start at 7 p.m.
Frank Sesno, the then-CNN Washington Bureau Chief on 9/11, will be the keynote speaker. The event will also have patriotic songs, a raising of the flags by the Boy Scouts and a candle-lighting, according to the Celebrate Great Falls Foundation.
In the case of rain, the event will get moved to the Great Falls Library (9830 Georgetown Pike).
Attendees can find parking in the library parking lot. While there will be limited seating, attendees are encouraged to bring portable chairs.
