A group of Oskaloosa residents will be honoring the 20th anniversary of the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Towers and Pentagon. Starting Thursday (9/9) at 5pm until 5pm Sunday the 12th, there will be a continuous vigil at the Oskaloosa town square. Frank Kminek is one of those organizing the Mahaska County 9/11 Anniversary Observation.
“Our goal is just to provide a gathering space for the community to come together and to remember and to learn more about the events of twenty years ago. And the community is welcome to come day or night and visit the field of flags. We’ll have a flag planted in the city square for each one of the 2900 plus victims of September 11th.”
Several people have volunteered to stand vigil at the Oskaloosa town square, which you can visit day or night.
