The City of Manning will host its annual Patriot Day service Friday, Sept. 11, at 9 a.m. at Hayes and Yvonne Samuels Park, at the corner of Church and Rigby streets.
Mayor Julia Nelson has extended a special invitation to the community to attend the service, which will remember those who lost their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and honor the first responders and others who served in the aftermath.
Col. (Ret.) Alexander Conyers, president of South Carolina State University, will serve as the guest speaker.
The annual observance provides an opportunity for residents to gather in remembrance and reflection on the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
