South Bend, IN – The South Bend Police Department will join several area police and fire agencies Thursday morning for the annual “Ringing of the Bell” 9/11 Remembrance Service at St. Patrick’s County Park.
According to the South Bend Police Department, the ceremony will take place at 9 a.m. Thursday, September 11, at the “Standing Tall” Freedom Memorial inside the park. The annual service pays tribute to the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The Honor Guard from South Bend will stand alongside representatives from neighboring departments, including the Mishawaka Fire Department, Clay Fire Territory, and other first responders. The bell-ringing tradition is meant to honor the victims, survivors, and first responders who sacrificed their lives that day.
The event remains open to the public, and organizers encourage residents to attend as a show of community support and remembrance. “This service is a way for us to pause, reflect, and never forget the lives lost on September 11,” officials said in a statement.
