The Northern Kentucky 9/11 Memorial will be commemorated on Sunday, September 11, starting at 7 p.m. at the Crescent Springs Community Park at 800 Buttermilk Pike.
The public is invited.
The Northern Kentucky 9/11 Memorial was dedicated last year after more than 3 years of construction.
At the site are renderings of the Twin Towers that once graced the New York skyline and a timeline of the actual events that occurred on 9/11/01. In the shape of a pentagon at the base, the memorial pays tribute to five groups deeply affected on that historic day, including firefighters, police, the airline industry, civilians and the Pentagon.
At the center is an authentic I-beam from the Twin Towers that was secured from Ground Zero and placed at the memorial by Iron Workers Local 44.
Judge Executive Kris Knochelmann and state Rep. Diane St. Onge will be featured speakers with WKRC’s news anchor John Lomax serving as emcee. This very patriotic program will host the Boone County Sheriff’s Department, Ralph Fulton VFW Post 6423 and the Covington Police Department, represented with color guards, rifle teams, and more.
The family of Brian P. Williams, an Edgewood native who died in the World Trade Center attack, will be present to unveil a monument in his honor.
Please take this opportunity to come out and join us in the commemoration of this historic and moving memorial.
