Beach are joining forces to show support for our military and public safety

members, and to honor the victims of September 11. Let our heroes know

that you appreciate their dedication and sacrifice, and let the families know

we haven’t forgotten their loved ones by participating in this year’s regional

Freedom Walk to be held Thursday, September 11 at 5:30 p.m. at

Harbor Park in Norfolk. The walk will kick-off at 6 p.m. after a brief ceremony

Hey kids!

Let our troops know that they are not
forgotten by writing them a letter telling
them how much you support them and
appreciate all the sacrifices they have made
to keep you safe and our country free.

September 11 at 5:30 p.m. When your city’s
