Ocean City’s annual “A Day to Remember” 9/11 memorial ceremony begins at 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 11, outdoors in front of the Ocean City Fire Department headquarters, between Fifth Street and Sixth Street on Asbury Avenue. All are encouraged to attend. The ceremony includes music, prayer and reflections on the memory of lives lost and on the community spirit that was renewed in the wake of the tragedy. The event includes the Striking of the Four Fives, a fire service tradition noting the death of a firefighter in the line of duty. This year’s speakers will be FBI Special Agent Dan Garrabrant, who was a supervisor with the evidence response team at the World Trade Center site in the aftermath of the attacks, and Ocean City Fire Chief Jim Smith.
