Delaware County’s annual September 11th Day of Remembrance Ceremony, hosted by Delaware County Council and the District Attorney’s Office, will take place on Wednesday, September 11, at 11:30 a.m. at Rose Tree Park, located at 1671 N. Providence Road in Media, PA. The ceremony will be held in the rear section of the park, at the memorial site dedicated to law enforcement, fire, EMS, and 911 personnel who have sacrificed their lives in service.
This year, we will once again come together at the 911 Memorial in Rose Tree Park to reflect on and remember the heroes who perished as a result of the devastating attacks on September 11th. We will also honor Delaware County’s brave First Responders who have died in the line of duty, while also expressing our gratitude to those who continue to protect and serve our community every day.
The events of September 11th changed our nation and our world forever. On that dark day, nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost in a horrific and violent act of terrorism. The scars of that day remain, but so too does our collective resolve to remember and honor those we lost.
We invite members of the public to join us for this solemn occasion. This ceremony is an opportunity for us to come together as a community, to honor the memory of those we have lost, and to show our appreciation for the ongoing dedication of our First Responders. Your presence and participation are meaningful contributions to ensuring that the legacy of these heroes lives on.
