Mayor Mufi Hannemann will lead the second annual Mayor's Remembrance Walk on Sept. 9 in observance of the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

"The city is again holding this walk to honor the memory of the people who perished in the 9/11 attacks and to recognize the first-responders and members of the armed forces who are protecting our safety and well-being," Hannemann said in a news release.

"This is an occasion for Honolulu to remember the losses we suffered and the acts of heroism summoned the day of the attacks."

The public is invited to participate in the walk, which includes brief ceremonies and wreath presentations at Honolulu Police Department headquarters and Honolulu Fire Department headquarters, a moment of silence at the Prince Kuhio Federal Building, and the formal program at Honolulu Hale.

Participants should gather by 6:30 p.m. on the front steps of Honolulu Police Department headquarters, at 801 S. Beretania St. Marchers will proceed makai on Alapa'i and South streets to Honolulu Fire Department headquarters on the corner of South and Queen streets.

The procession moves on Halekauwila Street to the Prince Kuhio Federal Building at the corner of Halekauwila and Punchbowl streets, then mauka on Punchbowl to Honolulu Hale.

The formal program at Honolulu Hale will take place at the eternal flame on the front lawn. The service will include a wreath-laying and recognition of the Honolulu Emergency Services Department and Department of Emergency Management.

There will be music by the Royal Hawaiian Band and a display of emergency vehicles from the police, fire, and emergency services departments.

Participants are encouraged to bring flashlights. Free parking will be available at the Frank F. Fasi Civic Center parking structure (enter from Alapa'i or Beretania streets).
