Ocean City’s annual “A Day to Remember” 9/11 memorial ceremony begins at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11, indoors at the Ocean City Tabernacle. All are encouraged to attend.

The ceremony is always well-attended and includes music, prayer and reflections on the memory of lives lost and on the community spirit that was renewed in the wake of the tragedy. The event includes the Striking of the Four Fives, a fire service tradition noting the death of a firefighter in the line of duty.

This year’s special guest speaker will be Walter Perez of 6abc Action News. Perez was working in New York and on the scene of the World Trade Center attacks in 2001.
