Multi-Faith Memorial Service for 9/11 to be Held at the Pentagon

A multi-faith memorial service at the Pentagon will mark the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States.

|TOP|Selah, a multi award-winning Christian group, is slated to perform at the service, where they will also put on a 30-minute concert immediately following the service.

The Army Chief of Chaplains, Chaplain Maj. Gen. David H. Hicks, will serve as the special guest speaker, as Selah will perform “You Raise Me Up,” “Bless The Broken Road,” “It Is Well With My Soul,” and “All My Praise” during the memorial service.

Organised for Pentagon work force personnel and families, the event will honour and remember those who gave their lives at the Pentagon and elsewhere in the United States on 11 September, 2001.

Churches and public venues across the world plan to hold candlelight memorial services, and prayer meetings to remember the tragic day when nearly 3,000 people died.

The World Trade Centre’s south tower collapsed five years ago, its twin, the north tower, giving way 30 minutes later.

In addition to two planes crashing into the World Trade Centre, a plane also hit the Pentagon that day. A fourth plane, believed to be headed for another strategic target in Washington, D. C., crashed into a Pennsylvania field.
