SHERBURNE – Every year, across the country, people come together to honor lives lost in the 9/11 terrorist act.

One of the tributes, honoring the 9/11 victims and their families and friends, will be held by the Sherburne Fire Department at 6:45 p.m.,Wednesday, September 11, at the Fire Station located at 15 W Street in Sherburne.

The Remembrance Walk will begin at 7p.m., from the Fire Station to Gaines Park where a brief memorial will take place.

Village Clerk Keith Van Althuis encourages the public to join and bring a candle to light during the walk in honor of the many family and friends taken too soon.

The hope is to live up to the expectation to 'never forget'.

"This service happened spontaneously on the day of 9/11 in 2001 and has continued every year after," said Van Althuis.

In past years, the Sherburne Fire Department and all fire departments of Chenango County came together to hold a fundraiser to provide assistance to Chenango County firefighters and their families during the disastrous hardship.

The Sherburne Fire Department is volunteer and provides Rescue Operations, Advanced Life Support (ALS) level ambulance service and Fire Suppression.
