Rancho Santa Margarita To Host 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, CA — The City of Rancho Santa Margarita is holding a Patriot Day Remembrance Ceremony on Sept. 11 to honor and remember those who died during the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks 20 years ago. This Patriot Day, community members also have a chance to honor Rancho Santa Margarita resident Lisa Frost, the only direct casualty from Orange County in the terror attacks.

Frost was 22 when she boarded United Airlines Flight 175. She was traveling from Boston University, the school she was attending, and on her way back home when her flight changed course. Her plane was the second passenger jet to hit the World Trade Center in New York City.

For this year's Patriot Remembrance Day Ceremony, community members are free to attend and honor not only the civilians who died in the attack, but first responders, the United States Military and the City’s Adopted 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines.

The Patriot Remembrance Day Ceremony will take place at the Rancho Santa Margarita Civic Center Plaza from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Residents who attend are encouraged to wear red, white and blue and bring their own lawn chairs. For more information, residents can call the city's Community Service Department at (949) 216-9700.
