911 Remembrance in Downtown Painesville Square

This Saturday marks the ninth anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Local citizens in Downtown Painesville are organizing a remembrance in the Painesville Square.



You're invited to come place a flag for each and every life taken on that infamous day. Volunteers will start placing 3,000 flags in the square in Downtown Painesville at 6:00 AM. There will be a short ceremony at 8:00 AM followed by Taps at 8:46 AM, the time the first plane struck the first tower.

We will never forget the victims of that day. We will never forget the brave firefighters, police officers and paramedics who gave their lives to save others. And we will never forget the courageous men and women in uniform who defend our country everyday.
