Annual 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony Held in Cashmere, WA

Cashmere, WA- The Annual 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony will take place on September 11 at the 9/11 Spirit of America Memorial located in Cashmere Riverside Park at 11 AM-12:30 PM and to include a traditional ringing of the bell in honor of the brave men and women who risked their lives. As we commence on the 21st anniversary, the ceremony will focus on the nearly 3,000 American lives lost, paying a special tribute to the First Responders (343 firefighters, 60 police officers and 8 EMTs). The program will include each name and a moment of silence with the traditional ringing of the bell.

The Memorial site, built in 2015, includes a piece of structural steel from the 60th floor of one of the Twin Towers, an ornamental piece of limestone from the face of the Pentagon and four bronze statues, together representing all those who perished on September 11th, 2001. Today the Memorial also includes “The Survivor Tree” – a Callery Pear like the one pulled from the smoldering rubble of the World Trade site, and four granite monuments. The monuments are engraved with the names of those who perished on airplanes at each tragic site – Pentagon, World Trade Center site and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Join First Responders, active and retired Military personnel, Flight Crews, Veterans, and people from around the region for this important event as we dedicate, honor, and remember. The Remembrance Ceremony is open to the public, donations are accepted, and keepsake remembrance coins are available for $10. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and welcomed on the memorial to view statues before and after the ceremony. The Memorial is open year-round and free for viewing, with tours available by request. The 9/11 Spirit of America Memorial is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit organization with support from dedicated volunteers. To learn more or to donate, visit 911memorialwa.org.
