PUEBLO — Wednesday marks 23 years since the 9/11 attacks on the U.S., and Pueblo is getting ready for its ceremony to remember the lives lost, and a day that shaped our country forever.
The annual Patriot's Day ceremony will happen at the Pueblo Riverwalk on Wednesday in front of the Center For American Values.
The ceremony will start at exactly 7:59 a.m. which signifies the moment the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed.
"It makes me proud to be a part of Pueblo and that every year we never forget and that we are part of this annual ceremony," said Tanya Quintana with the Center For American Values. "Captain Bryce Boyer started it several years ago and we've been able to partner with him the last 12 years here at the center."
After the event, a 'Walk in Silence' around the Riverwalk and a 'Memorial Stair Climb' will be happening at the Riverwalk staircase, which is located near Pueblo City Hall.
Throughout the month of September, some Pueblo police officers are wearing a 9/11 badge to honor an remember those who lost their lives, as well as the lives that were forever changed 23 years ago.
