September 11, 2001 is a date which is forever etched in the memories of all Americans. The events of that horrible day serve as a reminder of the vigilance that we must maintain to defend our nation and the sacrifices that have been made to keep us safe.

In the wake of the attacks, each year the President of the United States designates September 11th as Patriot Day – a day of remembrance to ensure we never forget the men and women who died on that fateful today.

This year we invite everyone to please join us on the 9th anniversary of the attacks at the City of Thornton’s September 11th Remembrance Ceremony.

This event, a joint effort with the City of Thornton, The Thornton Police and Fire Departments, the Thornton Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Thornton Veterans Memorial Foundation, provides us an opportunity as a community to come together and honor the fallen.

The weather should be perfect so please join us at 9:30am on Saturday, September 11, 2010 at Thornton Community Park (2141 E. 95th Ave) for this special event.  The event will be held on the field at the east-most stage.
