BELLEVUE, Neb. (KMTV) — In 2002, Bellevue held its first 9/11 Memorial Ceremony a year to the day after tragedy struck our country.
The ceremony will return Sunday, 21 years later, at American Heroes Park with the purpose of remembering and honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
That includes military members, first responders and people who lost their lives during the attack on 9/11 and the aftermath of it.
The ceremony starts at 4 p.m. and includes a Roll Call of Fallen Heroes from Nebraska and Western Iowa, the 13 Folds of the Flag, Ringing of the Four Fives, patriotic music and much more.
The ceremony is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Bellevue. The VFW Post 10785, Bellevue and Council Bluffs Jr. ROTC cadets, Sarpy Serenaders, and Bellevue Volunteer Fire Fighters will all play a role in the ceremony.
