Walk led by Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann.
Mayor Mufi Hannemann will lead the fourth annual Mayor's
Remembrance Walk on Sunday, September 6, in observance of
the eighth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist
attacks on America.
Mayor Hannemann said, "The City is again holding this walk
to honor the memory of the people who perished in the 9/11
attacks, and to recognize our City's family of first-responders
as well as members of the armed forces who are protecting
our safety and well-being each and every day. This is an
occasion for Honolulu to remember the losses we suffered
and the acts of heroism summoned the day of the attacks."
The public is invited to participate in the walk, which
includes brief ceremonies at the Honolulu Police Department
headquarters and Honolulu Fire Department headquarters.

The formal program at Honolulu Hale will take place at the eternal
flame on the front lawn. The service will include a

Services Department and Department of Emergency Management.
