On Sunday, September 11, 2011 at noon, Crystal Lake will be joining communities throughout the nation in marking the 10th anniversary of the attacks on New York City, Washington, D.C. and Shanksville, Pennsylvania with a “Moment of Remembrance.”
Residents and businesses are asked to stop at that hour 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 o fly the American flag that day at half staff if possible, as a sign of unity and remembrance. The following link will take you to the US Senate Resolution that was passed in July, calling for a national “Moment of Remembrance.”
As part of the “Moment of Remembrance”, the Crystal Lake Fire Rescue and Police Departments Honor Guards will also conduct a flag and bell ceremony at the Crystal Lake City Hall, located at 100 W. Woodstock Street. The ceremony will begin at 11:55 a.m. and will be conducted at the outdoor entrance of City Hall in front of the flag poles.
