In a recent government meeting, officials outlined upcoming remembrance events honoring the victims of the September 11 attacks and military prisoners of war.

The Orlando Police Department (OPD) will host a remembrance ceremony on September 11 at 10 a.m. in their community room, inviting the public to join in honoring the nearly 3,000 Americans and first responders who lost their lives that day. Attendees can expect food and community engagement during this solemn occasion.

Later that evening, a traditional candlelight ceremony will take place at Fire Station 1, although the exact time is still being confirmed—either 6 or 7 p.m. Residents are encouraged to check the city’s website for the final details.

Additionally, the Veterans Advisory Council will hold its annual POW/MIA recognition ceremony on September 13 in the rotunda of Sea Hall. This event aims to honor military prisoners of war and their families, with officials urging military personnel and the public to attend this moving tribute.
