A local 9/11 remembrance will be held Sunday downtown Smithville.

This Patriot Day event will begin at 4 p.m. at Evins Park across from Justin Potter Library to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001 and to honor first responders for what they do in our communities.
Cody Purvis will be performing. All attendees should bring a lawn chair.

Patriot Day occurs on September 11 each year in memory of nearly 3,000 innocent victims who died in the terrorist attacks 21 years ago. On that day, 2,977 people were killed, 19 hijackers committed murder-suicide, and more than 6,000 others were injured.

Two planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon at Washington, DC and a fourth plane crashed in a field at Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Please join in this local observance to remember the men and women who lost their lives.
