SALISBURY, MD – Salisbury will honor the victims and heroes of the September 11, 2001 attacks with a remembrance ceremony on Thursday, September 11, 2025, at 9 a.m. at Fire Station 16. The 30-minute ceremony will feature Mayor Randolph J. Taylor, Police Chief David Meienschein, and Fire Chief Rob Frampton speaking, alongside a combined Police and Fire Honor Guard that will post and retrieve the colors. Bagpipes will play Amazing Grace, and the bell will toll in the 5-5-5 sequence, representing a fallen firefighter’s last call. A moment of silence will follow.
Mayor Taylor said the event allows the community to reflect on the tragedy and honor those who gave their lives. Chief Meienschein added, “It is my honor to recognize those who sacrificed, and I am forever grateful for those who continue to heed the calling of serving others, as we are their legacy.” Chief Frampton encouraged both public safety personnel and residents to join in the tribute. The ceremony will be held at the station’s flagpole and bell area, moving indoors to the engine bays in the event of rain or bad weather. Salisbury residents are invited to attend and stand together in remembrance.
