Lake Havasu to Remember Victims of 9/11

Where were you seven years ago when you heard the devastating news about the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the heroic actions of a group of people on a plane downed in that Pennsylvania field?  Today, Lake Havasu City will gather at London Bridge Park to remember that day and honor the memory of those lost in the tragedies.  The ceremony will begin with a prayer and a moment of silence followed by a posting of colors and the National Anthem being sung by choirs from Thunderbolt and Daytona Middle Schools.  Local essay contest winners will lead the Pledge of Allegiance while presenting wreaths to place on the Sept. 11 Memorial in the park.  Lake Havasu's own Mayor Mark Nexsen and Joe Torillo, a retired New York City Firefighter injured during the 9/11 rescue and recovery, are set to speak.  After songs are performed by local students, several members of the armed forces will conduct a Rifle Salute.  The ceremony will conclude with Taps being played while the flags are raised.  We must never forget the day that changed our nation forever..September 11, 2001.
