In its 5th year, the City of St. George's Patriot Day: Remembering 9/11 commemoration will be poignant and reflective. We invite everyone to join us on Sept. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at Historic Town Square for this great event.
Our guest speaker, Bob Flowers, was the state's public safety commissioner at the time of 9/11, and was in charge of security for the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City. We're excited to hear his perspective. There will be a special Bell Tribute by the St. George Fire Department, children's choirs performing patriotic numbers and, like last year, the bagpipe procession to the Field of Heroes.
Other aspects to Patriot Day include:
* Sept. 9 through 11 the Field of Heroes will be on display on the lawn at Historic Town Square. The flags memorialize the first responders who died in the line of duty on 9/11/2001.
* Sept. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at Historic Town Square — immediately following the patriotic program — there will be a flag retirement ceremony on the steps of Town Square.
* Many first responder vehicles on display out on Main Street.
I look forward to seeing you there. Thanks, David
