Remembrance ceremony Sept. 11

UNMC/NHS will mark the first anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks on America with a special remembrance ceremony.

The UNMC/NHS ceremony will be Wednesday, Sept. 11, at 8:30 a.m. in the Swanson Hall Courtyard, just west of the Durham Outpatient Center. Employees will be joined by the Benson High School Color Guard, which will present the American flag at 8:35 a.m.

Brief comments will be delivered by UNMC Chancellor Harold M. Maurer, M.D. , and NHS President & CEO Glenn Fosdick, followed by a moment of silence and the song “Amazing Grace,” which will be played by a lone bagpiper.

NHS chaplains and the hospital chapel will stay open for employees who cannot attend the service but want to remember the day.
