Annual 9/11 memorial ceremony to be held at Brunswick Community College

WILMINGTON (WWAY) — The FDNY- Carolinas Retirees Association has released its schedule for the commemoration of 9/11 this year. The FDNY-CRA is an organization of retired FDNY firefighters who now reside in both North and South Carolina.

First at 9 a.m. the FDNY-CRA will attend and participate in a 9/11 Memorial Mass at Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church in North Myrtle Beach.

Then at 10:45 a.m., a motorcade consisting of motorcycles, private vehicles, and fire apparatus will depart from Rt 904 & Old Georgetown Rd. en route to Brunswick Community College.  All are welcome to participate.

At 11 a.m. the FDNY-CRA Annual 9/11 Memorial Ceremony will be held at Brunswick Community College Victory Garden. The ceremony will be steeped in Fire Department tradition, including the raising of a flag that flew over Ground Zero during Rescue and Recovery operations, the placing of a wreath by the 9/11 monument and playing of Taps. Bagpiper Kevin Mullholand will also lend to the patriotic theme of the ceremony.

At 7 p.m. The FDNY-CRA will participate in the annual evening ceremonies, hosted by the Lion’s Club, on Main Street in North Myrtle Beach.
