SUMMARY:City of St. Augustine: 9/11 Ceremony of Remembrance
LOCATION:170 St George St, St. Augustine, FL 32084
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Ceremony of Remembrance returns to the Plaza de la Constitución.<br /><br /
 >On Friday, September 11, 2026, the City of St. Augustine will honor the me
 mory of those who died in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, in a
  special 25th Anniversary ceremony. While the public has become familiar wi
 th the ceremony being held at the main fire station on Malaga Street, this 
 year it is returning to the site of the City’s first Ceremony of Remembranc
 e, which was held in 2002, in the Plaza de la Constitución.<br /><br />When
  asked about the significance of this year’s ceremony, Fire Chief Carlos Av
 iles reflected, “It is an honor every year, and especially this year, to se
 rve as the stewards of this ceremony. It carries forward the original inten
 t and simplicity of the first ceremony, providing our community with a plac
 e to gather and reflect,” Aviles continued, “but more importantly, the cere
 mony is a promise that no one will stand alone as they remember. May we nev
 er forget the courage and resilience that emerged from this tragedy.”<br />
 <br />Beginning at 8:30am, the live-streamed 15-minute program will include
  music, the presentation of colors by a multi-agency honor guard, an invoca
 tion, and personal remarks by FDNY Captain Chris Garaizar, Retired.<br /><b
 r />There will be a moment of silence at 8:45am, timed to coincide with the
  time the first plane hit the first tower of the World Trade Center in 2001
 . Then, the Fire Department will conduct the “Striking the Four 5’s” by rin
 ging a fire bell in four intervals of five rings each. This is a time-honor
 ed tradition signifying the last alarm of a firefighter, and will be perfor
 med in honor of the firefighters, law enforcement officers, military person
 nel, and civilians who died on 9/11.<br /><br />The ceremony will conclude 
 with bag pipes and drums playing “Amazing Grace.”
