The World Trade Center Survivors' Network Holds a Memorial Service and Candlelight Vigil to Comemorate the 10th Anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing
The World Trade Center Survivors' Network will hold a candlelight service on Sunday April 17 at 8 pm to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing as well as celebrate the close ties we have forged with the families, survivors and rescue/relief workers from Oklahoma.
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 13, 2005 -- The World Trade Center Survivors’ Network will sponsor a candlelight service on Sunday April 17 at 8 pm to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing as well as celebrate the close ties we have forged with the families, survivors and rescue/relief workers from Oklahoma.
The service will take place at the foot of the sculpture known as “The Sphere”, located at the Eisenhower Mall at the north end of Battery Park adjacent to the Hope Garden. The Sphere stood as the centerpiece of the World Trade Center plaza as a symbol to foster peace through world trade. Although the Sphere was badly damaged on September 11, it was salvaged, and today stands as a stirring tribute to the courage of those we lost and as a reminder of the resiliency of the American spirit. An eternal flame was added at the foot of the Sphere on the first anniversary in 2002.
The service is our small contribution to the Oklahoma City Memorial National Week of Hope, which will take place between April 17 and April 24 to conmemorate the 10th anniversary. It includes a variety of events and ceremonies honoring those who were killed, those who survived, and those changed forever by the 1995 bombing.
A candlelight service is also planned in Oklahoma City for April 17 at 7 pm, which means we will be having simultaneous services in New York and Oklahoma City. With this, we stand united in our desire for healing, unity, and peace.
Candles will be provided to all who attend.
