9/11 Candlelight Vigil
The 21st Ward Veterans Association will be host a candlelight prayer vigil at the Gorgas Park War Memorial on Saturday, September 11, at 7:00 p.m. In the event of inclement weather the prayer vigil will be held in the park's gazebo. There will be a limited number of candles available and the public is encouraged to bring a candle for the service. Police, Fire, EMT's, and military personnel will light the ceremonial candles and will start the candlelight process for the community members. The Association invites all current military personnel to attend the service. These men and women will be acknowledged for their commitment to sustaining the freedom we enjoy as Americans. Additional speakers will be participating to describe current community efforts to support our troops and hospitalized veterans. These efforts include Operation Bedding, and the Flag Retirement project managed by Boy Scout troop 334.
