Natick veterans, town officials, and others recalled the events of Sept. 11, 2001 at a ceremony during which speakers urged those in attendance to remember what happened and to support one another today and in days ahead.
The ceremony, held at the 9/11 memorial in front of the Natick Police and Fire departments, took place just before the Natick Days celebration began. Natick Pegasus video embedded below.

Thanks Natick stood proud. The Vetetans State and Local Officials did speak with great and kind words. NSSC CSM Roland spoke and Soldiers stood proud as did NFD and NPD stood proud. I love how this community comes together to show that we care and we share. God Bless America
Thank you Paul, a dignified and well organized ceremony, Bob B., Natick Report
