In case of inclement weather, the remembrance event will be moved indoors to the Municipal Center City Council Chambers.
The annual remembrance not only pays tribute to Naval Cmdr. Dan Shanower, a Naperville native who lost his life in the Pentagon on 9/11, but also honors all those who perished in the terrorist attacks that day. The Naperville memorial was one of the first in the nation to be completed and was dedicated on Sept. 11, 2003.
According to organizers, this event serves as an important opportunity for younger generations to learn about and reflect on this pivotal moment in our country's history. All members of the community are welcome to attend.
