The White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company has planned a "Ceremony of Remembrance" in memory of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, on Tuesday at the Perry Hall Library.
The ceremony—which includes brief speeches, the Pledge of Allegiance and local public officials—was held in past years outside the fire station on Cowenton Avenue in White Marsh. This is the first year it will be held outside the Perry Hall Library on Honeygo Boulevard, Public Information Officer James Clements announced.
The event begins at 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 11. Sirens will commemorate planes striking the World Trade Center buildings at 8:45 a.m. and 9:03 a.m. All are welcome to attend.
Clements provided further details below:
White Marsh Volunteer Fire Company (WMVFC), in conjunction with the Baltimore County Fire and Police Departments and hosted by the Perry Hall Public Library, announced a brief Ceremony of Remembrance to be held on September 11, 2012. The ceremony will serve to honor the services and sacrifices of the 343 NY City Fire Department, 60 police officers, 15 EMTs of various services, the thousands of military and civilians who lost their lives that day in the terrorist attacks.
The community is invited to join with each other, units of the Baltimore County Fire and Police Departments and local elected officials starting at 8:30 am on the parking lot of the Perry Hall Public Library located at 9685 Honeygo Blvd, Perry Hall, Maryland. Units will briefly sound sirens at 8:45 am (time of the attack on the north tower) and again at 9:03 am (time of the attack on the south tower); each to be followed by moments of silence and remembrance of these and the other terror attacks that day.
The ceremony will end with the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag.

Why don't they have this ceremony in the early evening when the majority of Perry Hall residents are not at work or school?

I would have liked to be there tomorrow morning but I don't think it would be right to bring my dog and I am not having him eat his breakfast later. I understand having it in the morning the same time as the attacks but it would be nice to have a ceremony in the evening as well. The shock/attacks happen in the morning but this lasted many days for all of us.

Would not want to inconvenience the dog to remember/honor the death of thousands? Wow. Honestly, this sort of thinking is so foreign to me that I cannot comprehend at all. Choose to go or not, but a dogs breakfast entering into decision seems a bit off to me. But this is a free country...I was in mid town that day in 2001. Caught the 6:30am Amtrak out of bwi rail for 10am meeting. Still have unused return tix. Shrieks, smell, sounds TV cannot replicate never really leave you. Choose your way to remember....but just please do....and pray for peace.

My dog has stomach problems and has to stick to a specific feeding schedule and can not be left for two hours after he eats or he gets too worked up and looses the food. I have the TV on and except feeding my dog I will not be leaving the TV.
Might seem off to some people to have to choose but his health comes first.
There has been a lot of talk about healing emotionally on other articles, I am sure the people directly effected by the attacks this morning 11 years ago are still healing and I hope they have love ones for support.

The point of my post was I understand why the ceremony is in the morning because thats when the attacks happen but I agree with Eric and would like to see something done in the evening because everything that happen that day didn't stop in the morning. I said it wouldn't be right to bring my dog to something like this and I still think that is correct.
