Our Post will host a commemorative event on ‘September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance' at the North Kingstown Town Beach on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks to honor the first responders who gave their lives, the veterans who have served in the wars that followed, and those who engage in charitable service.
We have 3 main objectives for this event:
- Commemorate the lives of those who died in the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Virginia and those who perished when the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania.
- Raise funds for local charities that support veterans and first responders.
- Emphasize the importance of unity within our country and community and pay tribute to the heroes who continue to serve today, domestically and abroad.
We wanted to host a 5K run; however, with our commitment to public health and our front line workers, we elected to host a Virtual 5K Run to Remember. You can sign up for the race by clicking the link below to register. Every race entrant receives their choice of a Short Sleeve, Long Sleeve, or Hoodie regardless if they complete the run or not.
We will have a commemorative ceremony co-hosted with the North Kingstown Fire Department and the North Kingstown Police Department at the North Kingstown Town Beach on Saturday 11 September from 0930 to 1030. 10 Beach St, North Kingstown, RI 02852
