Cowlitz 2 Fire & Rescue’s annual memorial service to those killed in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, will he held at 6:45 a.m. Wednesday at the fire station in Kelso, 701 Vine St. The public is invited. The time of the ceremony approximates when the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York collapsed, adjusted for three hours time zone change. The South Tower fell at 9:59 a.m. eastern time; the North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. “This ceremony is held early in the morning for a reason; the inconvenience to stand out here one morning a year to remember their sacrifice, at the time they perished, is the least we can do,” Cowlitz 2 Chief Dave LaFave said in a written statement. A steel artifact from the World Trade Center is the centerpiece of the memorial. Only 1,000 steel artifacts have been released for memorials throughout the United States, according to Cowlitz 2 (as per article in the Daily News)
