Description
The Overland Park Fire Department's annual 9/11 ceremony will not be open to the public this year, but you can still honor the fallen. Honor guards will conduct the solemn service at the 9/11 Memorial, which includes moments of silence, bell strikes, and salutes at significant moments commemorating the terrorist attacks. This year, due to continuing spread of COVID-19, the ceremony will be limited to honor guards and other fire department staff.
