body

WHEREAS, on September 11, 2021, a patriotic 1-hour event will be hosted by the Bellevue Exchange Club commemorating the 20^th anniversary of September 11, 2001; and

WHEREAS, twenty years ago this month, our country experienced one of the most devastating and horrifying events in its history; and

WHEREAS, the event of 9/11 was a series of terrorist attacks against the United States on the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001; and

WHEREAS, the attacks resulted in 2,977 fatalities, over 25,000 injuries, and substantial long-term health consequences, in addition to at least $10 billion in infrastructure and property damage, impacting thousands of businesses and individuals, disrupting thousands of lives across the United States; and

WHEREAS, that day serves as a painful reminder as the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States and is recorded never to be erased in the minds of all those that remember that dark day; and

WHEREAS, in the years following the attack, “We the People” of the United States of America continue to rebuild; and

WHEREAS, it is especially important to remember our first responders and families during this day and time of September 11, the impressions of which America is still healing from; and

WHEREAS, this event, honors and brings education to our children, young adults, students, and citizens. History need not to be forgotten; but looked upon and respected, and hopefully never to be repeated; and 

WHEREAS, the Bellevue Exchange Club brings this remembrance ceremony to the Bellevue Red Caboose Park in reflection for America.

WHEREAS, it is fitting and proper that the Metropolitan Council honors The Bellevue Exchange Club as they recognize the 20^th anniversary of September 11^th and honor the memory of the individuals and their families and the precious lives lost.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY:
