9/11 National Moment of Remembrance
Mayor Oberlie stated, “This year we mark the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, a day that changed America forever. To commemorate this occasion and pay tribute to those we have lost, the U.S. Senate has unanimously passed a resolution (S. Res. 237) calling on all Americans to participate in a Moment of Remembrance on September 11, 2011.
During the Moment of Remembrance, every person across the country is called upon to stop and remember those we lost in the September 11th attacks. The Moment of Remembrance will take place for one full minute at 12:00 P.M. local time on September 11, 2011, and cities and towns, firehouses, churches and other institutions across the country are called upon to sound sirens and ring bells during that minute. These sirens and bells will be a signal for each person to stop and remember the people we lost and demonstrate the perseverance the American people have shown since that fateful day.
Mayor Oberlie is encouraging all of Michigan City to participate.
In addition residents are encouraged to attend the countywide Program of Remembrance at Ames Field beginning at 10:00 A.M.
