911 Memorial Event

Overview

On Friday, September 11, the City of Suwanee will host a small ceremony in remembrance of those who lost their lives as a result of and in response to the terrorist attacks that took place across the country 25 years ago. The ceremony will include comments from Mayor Jimmy Burnette, a special guest speaker who was directly affected by the events surrounding the attacks, and a flag and wreath-laying ceremony led by the Gwinnett County Fire Department.
