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.
