Humboldt Bay Fire and the Eureka Police Department will be holding a joint tribute to honor those who were lost, the heroes, the families left behind, and the survivors of the events of that fateful day in September 2001. There will be a bell ceremony at 12:00 P.M. at Humboldt Bay Fire Station #1 on September 11, 2014.
The public is encouraged to attend and show respect for the fallen. On that day, thirteen years ago 2,996 persons lost their lives in the attacks. Of the lives that were lost at the World Trade Center, 343 were firefighters, 60 were police officers, and 2 were paramedics. They were killed in the line of duty as they tried to rescue thousands of civilians from the towers that collapsed.
We ask that everyone keep the memory alive of those lost on 9-11-01 in New York City, the Pentagon, Shanksville, Pennsylvania and the military service members that have been killed in action defending our freedom and way of life.
