Reflecting On Events of Ten Years Ago
Residents and businesses are asked to stop at noon and take a moment to reflect on the tragedies that occurred ten years ago, as well as to honor those who protect our communities, our nation and our freedoms today.
Available Police and Fire Rescue sirens will sound at that moment, and Crystal Lake’s faith community is being asked to sound bells or chimes at that moment.
The community is also asked to fly the American flag that day, at half staff if possible, as a sign of unity and remembrance.
