Thursday will mark the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks on the US. As you go about your day, please take a moment to remember those who lost their lives that day.
‘Tank’ Baird, Todd Winder, and everyone from the 9/11 Memorial Coalition and the Clinton Township Volunteer Fire Company work tirelessly to make the 9/11 Memorial Ride a safe and meaningful experience. The ride, which is a symbolic journey to honor all those who lost their lives as a result of the attacks, is a powerful way to remember and pay tribute to the victims. We thank them for their dedication and everything they do to make this event possible.
Events at the Fire Company begin at 10 a.m., and the ride starts at 6 p.m. Lou has all the details on page 6.
Please be mindful of the 9/11 Memorial Ride on Thursday, as it is expected to cause traffic congestion and road closures. The ride will be passing through several key areas of the town to honor the victims of the 9/11 attacks. I understand this may be inconvenient, and I know the Coalition appreciates your patience and understanding. Please refer to the map on page 7 to familiarize yourself with the ride’s route and any areas to avoid if you need to travel during the ride.
Major areas to avoid include Southern Ave. in South Williamsport and all of West and East Third St. Remember, if you need to cross Third St. during the ride, be prepared for it to take some time, so complete your errands early or find an alternative route.
The 9/11 Memorial Ride is not just a bike ride, it’s a powerful symbol of our community’s resilience and unity. Your presence, even if you can’t ride, is invaluable. Please get out and line the streets, wave a flag, and remember those whose lives were lost, those who were injured, and the families left behind. Your involvement is not only appreciated, but it is also crucial to the success of this event. Together, we can show our support and honor the memory of the 9/11 victims.
As we approach the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, let’s not forget the thousands of US soldiers who have been killed in action since then. Their sacrifice is a stark reminder that freedom is never free. Let’s take a moment to thank them for their service and remember their bravery. I am grateful to all the men and women who are willing to go out and defend our freedom every day.
