Details
The South Park Township Board of Supervisors, in conjunction with Windover Hills United Methodist Church, is again sponsoring a September 11th Remembrance Ceremony that will be held – rain or shine – on Monday, September 11, 2023, at 6:00 p.m.
The informal gathering will take place at Sunny Slope located in the Allegheny County Park. It is extremely important to remember that we are Americans, and we gather on this occasion to reflect not only on tragic events of September 11th but to also recognize the sacrifices made by military personnel, both active and veterans, as well as those who are the first to respond to any emergency in South Park Township: the South Park Township Police Department, Broughton Volunteer Fire Department, Library Volunteer Fire Company, and Tri-Community South Emergency Medical Service. These individuals regularly place themselves in harm’s way to keep us safe and to maintain the many freedoms that we presently enjoy.
Members of the Allegheny County Police Department and the Sheriff’s Department will also be in attendance. Other participants include the boy scouts, girl scouts, local performers, the Patriot Guard Riders, and a bagpipe player.
South Park Township invites everyone to attend the memorial ceremony that will include patriotic songs and the distribution of American flags. The boy scouts will be collecting old, worn flags that will be retired at a later date during a formal ceremony. The parking lot of Windover Hills United Methodist Church can be used to accommodate any parking overflow, and the church will be used for the ceremony in the event of rain. Refreshments and beverages will be served immediately after the ceremony at Windover Hills United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall.
It is our love of our country and community that unites us as a nation. Please join us on September 11th to reflect on this poignant event.
