As the 10th anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, approaches, the Wayzata community is invited to join a solemn ceremony organized by US Army Major General Bob Shadley.
The event, scheduled for 1 pm on September 11th, 2011, will take place at Heritage Park on Wayzata Boulevard.
This commemorative gathering aims to pay a fitting tribute to the memory of 9/11, honoring the resilience and strength of the nation.
A military band, accompanied by the American Legion Color Guard, will set a somber tone as well as play standards in a musical tribute.
Master of Ceremonies Greg Rye will guide the proceedings, introducing distinguished guests and speakers, including Dr. Gordon Aamoth, who lost his son in the World Trade Center attacks. Additionally, Gordy Engel will offer a prayer, and Mayor Ken Willcox will recognize veterans and first responders.
Residents are encouraged to attend this heartfelt ceremony, joining the community in remembrance and reflection. Following the event, everyone is invited to gather for lunch at the Wayzata Bar & Grill, the City of Wayzata’s municipally operated restaurant.
