Today, we solemnly honor and remember the lives lost in the tragic events of September 11th. We also pay tribute to the heroes who rose in the face of unimaginable adversity.
Union County residents are invited to visit the September 11th Memorial at Echo Lake Park, a space of reflection and remembrance for those we lost.
A uniformed Honor Guard will stand watch at the memorial from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Residents are encouraged to bring and light candles in remembrance of those lives lost on September 11th.
Candles will also be available at the memorial, courtesy of the Union County Department of Parks and Recreation.
