The community is invited to join the Wellington Village Council on Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 6 p.m. for a remembrance ceremony at the Wellington Patriot Memorial (12198 W. Forest Hill Blvd.) to honor the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
During the ceremony, village officials will share their thoughts and lay a memorial wreath for those lost and affected by the attacks. Representatives from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue and the New York Fraternal Order of Police 3100 will also be in attendance to show solidarity for those lost on 9/11.
Wellington dedicated its Patriot Memorial on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The memorial includes one of the largest steel beams salvaged from the World Trade Center site, as well as an eternal flame fountain and etched glass panels inscribed with the names of the victims.
