City commemorates 9/11 anniversary

The City of Bloomington will be host to a memorial ceremony to commemorate the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks at 9 a.m. Thursday.

The memorial ceremony will be held in Showers Plaza outside of City Hall, 401 N. Morton St.

This year’s speakers will include Mayor Mark Kruzan, Reverend Harold Godsey and President of the Bloomington Metropolitan Professional Firefighters Local 586 Bob Loviscek, according to a release from the City.

Loviscek has been in the Bloomington Fire Department for 12 years.

The ceremony serves as a way for Bloomington to honor the sacrifices made by public safety officers in both the city and in communities across the nation, according to the release.

A wreath will also be laid during the ceremony to honor the lives of the innocent civilians and first responders lost during the attacks on 9/11.

343 firemen lost their lives in the attacks.

In the event that it rains, the ceremony will take place in the council chambers inside City Hall.

Members of the public are invited to attend the ceremony.
