Sunday will be a day of reflection and remembrance as Americans honor the memories of those lost in the worst terror attacks ever committed on U.S. soil.
On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terrorists killed 2,977 people and injured over 25,000 more in a series of coordinated attacks using hijacked commercial airliners. The Grant-Reeves VFW Post 7720 in Cornelia will commemorate the occasion with a candlelight vigil at the Habersham County Veterans Wall of Honor in Cornelia.
The VFW Honor Guard will conduct a ceremonial bell tolling, rifle volley, and taps. VFW Post 7720 Senior Vice Commander Jim Morgan will deliver brief remarks.
The vigil begins at 7 p.m. and is expected to last about an hour. The community is invited to attend.
The Habersham County Veterans Wall of Honor is located at 668 US 441 Business across from Ethicon in Cornelia.
