The City of La Quinta will be honoring the victims and courageous first responders of the 9/11 tragedies in a candlelight vigil on the evening of September 11th at 7 p.m. The community event will include speeches by local dignitaries, musical tributes and a candlelight vigil at Civic Center Park’s 9/11 Memorial.
The La Quinta High School Blackhawk Brigade will pay a musical tribute as well as members of the La Quinta Police Department and Riverside County Fire Department. La Quinta Mayor Linda Evans, Council Members Kristy Franklin, John Pena, Robert Radi and Lee Osborne will also be present to pay their respects.
The September 11 National Day of Service and Rememberance was started by 9/11 family members and support groups to establish the service day as a way to honor the victims and heroes. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the attacks in which 2,977 lives were lost.
