MARYSVILLE—The City of Marysville invites members of the public to join city staff, Marysville Fire District and Marysville Police Department for a public ceremony on September 11, marking 24 years since the devastating 2001 terrorist attacks.
The remembrance ceremony will take place at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, in the Delta Plaza outside the Marysville Civic Center, 501 Delta Ave.
This service honors the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, including 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers. The Marysville Fire District also lost one of its own, Lt. Jeff Thornton, who died that same day after a long battle with cancer.
The ceremony will include remarks from Mayor Jon Nehring and a presentation by Marysville Fire District’s prestigious Honor Guard.
A recording of the ceremony will be made available afterward.
