In a move to honor those affected by the events of September 11, Palm Beach County has officially declared September 11, 2025, as National Day of Service and Remembrance. The proclamation was announced during the recent Board of County Commissioners meeting, according to Palm Beach County Government's website.
The meeting, which took place at the Robert Weisman Government Center, saw Vice Mayor Sara Baxter presenting the proclamation to honor the lost lives, celebrate the bravery shown by first responders, and acknowledge the enduring spirit of survivors and bereaved families. The Four Points Building and the Historical Society Building will be lit in blue as the community comes together to honor the strength and sacrifices of those remembered from the events of many years ago.
Moreover, the Board of County Commissioners is reaching out to any individuals, including victims, family members, and first responders, who were directly affected during the attacks to attend the ceremony to be recognized alongside the proclamation.
“On September 11, we remember the lives lost and honor the courage of those who ran toward danger to protect our nation. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to freedom, unity, and service, standing together as proud Americans who will never forget,” Vice Mayor Sara Baxter stated, as noted by the county's website.
