THE TOWN OF MARSHFIELD AND THE MARSHFIELD BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB WILL BE HOSTING A 9/11 MEMORIAL.
The Town of Marshfield has been selected as one of the 75 Communities designated as a lead public memorial location in America for the 2nd Annual 9/11 DAY Flag of Honor Across America Memorials on September 11, 2022. We are proud to be able to gather in Marshfield and keep America’s promise that those tragically killed by terrorists on September 11, 2001 are never forgotten.
Launched in memory of the 20thAnniversary of that tragic day, the first 9/11 DAY Flag of Honor Across America Memorials took place in 60 communities in 25 states on Saturday, September 11, 2021, also called 9/11 Day, a National Day of Service and Remembrance, and Patriot Day. This new annual memorial was designed and launched by Global Youth Justice, Inc., and selected by the United States government as one of only five official federal projects to support and co-launch on the 20thAnniversary of 9/11 Day in 2021.
Despite launching in the middle of a global pandemic, the first 9/11 DAY Flag of Honor Across America Memorial Project was the largest national multi-site 9/11 Day Project on the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 Day on September 11th, 2021, and since Federal 9/11 Day began. In 2021, there were 60 official public sites, and 60 communities united to each hold a 9/11 DAY Public Memorial in memory of 50 different victims from the 2,983 women, children, and men who lost their lives on 9/11/01 (2,977 victims).
PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
On Sunday, September 11, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. at the Marshfield Boys and Girls Club, 37 Proprietors Drive, there will be a ceremony to remember this tragic day.
The ceremony will consist of the Presentation of the Colors, Pledge of Allegiance, singing of the National Anthem, speeches and the reading of the 65 names of people from Massachusetts who had their lives cut short on September 11, 2001.
Please plan on joining us to honor the victims and remember this tragic day.
