BOLINGBROOK, IL — In honor of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks this Saturday, Bolingbrook officials will hold a commemorative service on Facebook Live.

"Each year we remember those who lost their lives, the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for others, and those who have been forever marked by this moment in history," event organizers wrote on Facebook. "We urge all residents to give meaning to the phrase "Never Forget" to mourn for those we lost and continue to support those who rushed toward danger that day."
