West Linn Remembers ...

West Linn had two events scheduled this 10th anniversary year of 9/11/2001.

The ceremony culminated with a
wreath and the ringing of the

9/11 Remembrance Ceremony

Sunday 9/11/2011 1pm at the Willamette Park boat ramp

Please join us for a brief time of quiet honor, reflection, and remembrance in honor of the nearly 3,000 innocent people from over 70 countries who lost their lives on 9/11, the first responders at the three crash sites, those lost in the ensuing wars on terror, and especially our first responders & soldiers who continue to bravely serve us every day.

Bring a flower to throw into the river. Fire engines and police cars will be on display afterwards for the kids.

We've had some trouble with the movie upload ... if the link does not work please try again Thursday evening.

Community 9/11 Yellow Ribbon Project

West A Street & Broadway Street over I-205 ... starting 9/4

Over 3,000 ribbons were tied on both
sides of the "A" Street bridge over I-205
by dozens of West Linn residents.

We're decorating the West A and Broadway Street bridges where they cross I-205 with yellow ribbons in honor of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, our first responders, & our troops.

Tens of thousands of cars drive under these bridges every day. Let them know you remember and that you care!

Starting Sunday 9/4 at 1pm and continuing all week any time, please stop by and tie a yellow ribbon on the fence. Bring your family, and remember as you tie 1, 100, or more ribbons.

Ribbons will be supplied.
