Bagpiper | Remember 911 | 2024
Now, three years after the Covid restrictions lift, the ceremony hosted by the top city leaders at City Hall. And, the same Beverly Hills location was selected. Fortunately, the same team of bugle players were available. Interestingly, the version of “Taps” is a call and response. Also, the sound is perfect for the outdoor venue.
This year, the Chief of Police announced that his son just became a Prvt. in the Marines. Amazingly, that is the same path of his father and grandfather. Congratulations. Thanks for the service of our military and first responders. Interestingly, the Chief’s father was in the Pentagon during the attack on 911.
The color guard was well represented with a tribute to the fallen. And, the bagpiper led the march. The statue area at city hall has pieces of the Pentagon from the attack. Also, pieces of the Twin Towers. Additionally, the ceremony included the ringing of the symbolic bell. Including the three time of 5 rings.
