9/11 Remembrance Ceremony
Avon, New York - 11 Sep 2017
ABOUT THE MISSION:
On this upcoming 16th Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on our Nation, our PGR participation has again been requested to assist in honoring the hundreds of First Responders and Military Personnel - and thousands of civilians - who gave their lives that day.
Last year our PGR participated in this Ceremony for the third year, and our presence was very much appreciated. St. Agnes School (in its 142nd year) in the Village of Avon is a small Catholic school serving children of all faiths from Pre-School thru Sixth Grade in Livingston County and southern Monroe County communities.
This school has a strong Patriotic history of teaching our future leaders in the respect and celebration of our Nation, Military and First Responders. It was very rewarding last year to witness the respect and patriotism of these young people.
Other participants in this ceremony will include the American Legion, VFW, local Law Enforcement and Fire/EMS Personnel, and local government officials. Those of you who have participated in this Ceremony know how much the PGR is appreciated.
