Vienna 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony Moved To New Site

VIENNA, VA — The town of Vienna announced Monday afternoon that a ceremony to honor the victims and first responders of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has been moved to the Vienna Community Center.

The ceremony was scheduled to take place Tuesday morning on the Town Green, behind the Freeman Store. But this week's rainy weather has forced the event to move indoors to the community center's auditorium.

The scheduled time of 9 a.m. for Tuesday's ceremony has not changed (see map below). The Vienna Community Center is at 120 Cherry St. SE, two blocks south of Maple Avenue (Route 123).

The town and American Legion Dyer-Gunnell Post 180 are hosting the ceremony. All are invited to attend.

Retired U.S. Army Col. Glenn Snodgrass, who served in various command and staff positions in the U.S., Vietnam and Germany at the height of the Cold War, will be the speaker at the 9/11 ceremony. Following retirement from the Army, Snodgrass worked in the defense industry for 15 years.
