On Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021, hundreds participated in the 20 year 9/11 Memorial Service in Erie, PA at the Erie 9/11 Memorial located at the Blasco Library.
A bell was rung at 8:46 am and 9:03 am, remembering the times that the North Tower and South Tower of the World Trade Center in New York were attacked on September 11th, 2001. Remembrance, remarks, prayers and patriotic music was included. A flock of doves were released at the closing of the service.
