Two local events to help you remember 9/11 this Friday and honor those who were lost on that day and those fighting to ensure it doesn't happen again. The first in the morning at the State Capital:
A Patriot Day Ceremony will be held on Friday, September 11 at 7:15 a.m. on the steps of the Minnesota State Capital to honor those who were injured, lost their lives, and those who served during the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. The ceremony will follow the specific guidelines of the executive order creating Patriot Day signed into law by President Bush.
The Patriot Day program will begin at 7:15 am and will conclude by 8:30 am.
