The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 will be remembered at a ceremony hosted by Orange County on Thursday, on the front lawn of the Historic Courthouse in Downtown Hillsborough.
State Senator Valerie Foushee of District 23 will deliver the keynote address, and representatives of law enforcement and fire agencies from Hillsborough, Chapel Hill and Carrboro will also attend.
Elected officials from all three of the towns, and from all levels of Orange County government have also been invited, according to an Orange County news release.
The event is open to the public, and attendees will be provided with remembrance cards to share their reflections about that tragic day.
A 9/11 Memorial Ceremony in Orange County is planned to take place every year.
This year’s event begins at 8:30 a.m.
