Sept. 11 commemoration event scheduled to honor all affected

BONNERS FERRY — In honor of those whose lives were lost or permanently impacted on Sept. 11, 2001, the Boundary County Chaplain Corps is proud to sponsor a commemoration at the Boundary County fairgrounds pavilion on Saturday, Sept. 11, at 8:30 a.m.

Representatives of emergency services agencies will be in attendance, and the public is urged to attend as we remember and reflect upon one of the most momentous days in our national history.

The commemoration will feature a tolling of the bell at the corresponding times of the jets’ striking the twin towers in New York, a patriotic reading to call all of us to courage and hope, and a final bell toll to honor the dead at the Pentagon, Shanksville and the first responders that perished in New York that horrific day.

The Boundary County Fire Rescue Honor Guard will present the colors.

Please come and demonstrate to our region that Boundary County honors and emulates the courage in the face of tragedy that was so abundantly seen in the events of 9/11.

The event will take place rain or shine. For more information, please contact Chaplain Len Pine at 208-946-9761.
