The community is invited to a special Sept. 11th "Never Forget" observance on Friday evening, Sept. 6th at Newtown’s Pickering Field.
The observance, which begins at 6 p.m., will pause on the eve of the 23rd commemoration of the 9-11 terror attacks to honor the area’s first responders.
“The idea is just to stop and pause and pump the brakes a little from the world while we remember the first responders who ran into the towers 23 years ago and our own first responders who serve our community every day,” said Mayor John Burke, who is organizing the special night with the assistance of the Newtown Rotary Club.
The community’s first responders, including the Newtown Ambulance Squad, the Newtown Township and Newtown Borough Police Departments and Newtown Fire Rescue have been invited to attend.
