September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a day that changed the world \u2013 for some more than others,\u201d Bill Evans said during his remarks at the memorial ceremony held Thursday at Daniel Crisman Memorial Park in South Montrose.<\/p>\n

The annual memorial remembrance marked the 13th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, as well as the crash of Flight 93 in western Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Evans is the father of Billy Evans, a member of the Pennsylvania National Guard, Company C., 1st Battalion, 109th Infantry Regiment who was killed in action in Iraq on Sept. 19, 2005.<\/p>\n

Less than 10 days after his death, five other members of the 109th were also killed: SSG Daniel Arnold, SPC Oliver Brown, SFC George Pugliese, Sgt. Eric Slebodnik and Spc. Lee Wiegand.<\/p>\n

Evans said, \u201cOver 3,000 lives were lost that day. Think of how many families were touched by this, and the wars that followed, including those that have since taken their own lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Evans spoke of the memorials in the park dedicated to both Danny Crisman and Daniel Arnold.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know Dan (Arnold) but he was part of the group that helped get me son out of the vehicle he was in,\u201d Evans said. \u201cEach of them is a part of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s still hard even after coming up on nine years,\u201d he said of his son\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

Although lives were cut short, Evans said shared memories with friends and family help to keep the spirit of those lost alive.<\/p>\n

He also spoke of recent world events, including the destabilization of Iraq. \u201cLook around and see what is happening all over the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Evans ended his remarks with a quote from President Ronald \"WGSI_911_flag\"<\/a>Reagan: \u201cWe will always remember. We will always be proud. We will always be prepared, so we will always be free.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two fire trucks suspended a large American flag across the entrance, leading attendees to the memorial ceremony.<\/p>\n

Rep. Sandra Major also offered remarks during the ceremony.<\/p>\n

Despite the strong breeze that carried away the day\u2019s earlier rains, those at the ceremony lit candles while Hayden Brunges sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic.<\/p>\n

\"WGSI_911_candle\"<\/a>Veterans and scouts offered salutes as Taps played was played by Bud Wilcox.<\/p>\n

Bridgewater Baptist Church lead pastor Bob Kadlecik offered the closing prayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
