The Washington Memorial Chapel in Valley Forge National Historical Park will be honoring the 21st anniversary of 9/11 with a solemn remembrance service and tribute to Flight 93 Hero Louis J. Nacke II, who is laid to rest in the Chapel’s cemetery, on Sunday, September 11 at 9:30 a.m. During the morning remembrance at 9 a.m., the bourdon bell of the Washington Memorial National Carillon will toll six times to mark the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, the collapse of the Twin Towers and the crash of Flight 93. Fr. Thompson, Rector of the Chapel, will offer a prayer for all first responders, for those who died in the attacks and for all whose lives were forever changed on that tragic day. Following the service, there will be a procession to the grave of Louis J. Nacke II, one of the heroes of Flight 93, who is buried in the Chapel’s cemetery. Prayers will be said for the victims who died in the attacks, and specifically for the repose of the soul of Louis Nacke II and all who died on Flight 93. The Chapel invites members of the community to come pray for those who lost their lives on this tragic day and show that as a nation we will never forget 9/11.
