9/11 Message and Invite from Mayor Tim Baldermann

Share your support and remembrance with our First Responders.

21 years ago this Sunday, we vowed to Never Forget the terrorist attacks against our nation that cost us the lives of nearly 3,000 Americans, including innocent civilians, police officers and fire fighters. Thousands of military personnel were killed during the conflicts that followed.

Normally, we hold a service in the Commons to commemorate and remember. This year, we are inviting everyone to come to our police department on Sunday, September 11th from 8am until 9am.

We will have members of our police and fire departments present, as well as our veterans. Please come by and say thank you to our first responders and military heroes. Donuts and coffee will be provided.We must never forget the horrors of that day. Our country came together as one United nation. Let's gather to remember the day, and show support for those that continue to protect our way of life at home and abroad.
