“While this institution honors those who have served and died fighting for our freedoms, it also remembers the brave first responders and victims of the 9/11 attacks,” Maria Miller, president & CEO of The War Memorial, said.
The Service of Remembrance will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 8:30 a.m. on the lakefront lawn of the historic Alger House at The War Memorial.
