September 11th Memorial Service

On Friday, September 11, 2015 The Glen Lake Fire Department will hold its fourteenth annual memorial service, marking the anniversary of the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City. Particularly remembered will be the 343 firefighters and medics who lost their lives in the tragedy.

The memorial will begin at 8:30 AM in the Glen Lake Fire Station, located at 6401 W. State Street, Glen Arbor.

The program will feature remarks by Dusty G. Shultz, Superintendent of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, comments by the Reverend Russell Logston, Pastor of Empire United Methodist Church, and music selections by bagpiper Jack Fellows and coronetist Norm Wheeler.

The ceremony will be complimented by tours of the 9-11 Memorial Garden, designed by local artist and designer the late Ted Peterson, located outside the fire station, titled "We Remember The Fallen, The Bravery, The Sacrifice." An artifact, consisting of a rusty, twisted steel beam, recovered from the Twin Towers wreckage, is highlighted on a basalt column in the middle of a flowing infinity pool.

The public and all local firefighters, EMTs, law enforcement, NPS, and military personnel are invited to attend.
