Macon, GA – The Bibb County Sheriff’s Office is inviting residents to join a remembrance ceremony Thursday morning honoring the lives lost during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
According to the sheriff’s office, the memorial will take place at 8:45 a.m. at Public Safety Park in downtown Macon, located at Mulberry and Second Street. The ceremony will feature local law enforcement, firefighters, and community leaders paying tribute to the victims, first responders, and families affected by the attacks.
The event is open to the public, and officials encourage residents to gather in unity as part of the national day of remembrance. For those unable to attend in person, the ceremony will be livestreamed on the Macon-Bibb County government’s official Facebook page.
Community members across Georgia and the nation are preparing for similar observances, which traditionally include moments of silence at key times of the morning to mark the sequence of attacks and the collapse of the Twin Towers.
This year marks the 24th anniversary of the tragedy, when nearly 3,000 people were killed in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania. Local leaders said gatherings like the one in Macon help younger generations understand the importance of remembrance and resilience.
