Moving Tribute Underway in downtown Lock Haven

LOCK HAVEN, PA – Communities all across the United States joined in remembrance Saturday as America marks the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States.

In Lock Haven two longstanding events are being held at Triangle Park: the Clinton County Veterans Affairs office, in conjunction with VETS Plus, is holding its 9/11 Moving Tribute and the Rotary Club of Downtown Lock Haven has placed Angel Light luminaries.

The Moving Tribute began before daybreak as the Lock Haven University ROTC unit began the annual run carrying American flags. Throughout the day runners, walkers and cyclists will keep the flags moving throughout the community’s downtown in remembrance of 9/11.

The Rotary event sees the placement and lighting of the luminaries throughout Triangle Park, what the Downtown Club described as “the lights shine together as a display of respect for patriots, heroes, teachers, mentors, friends, relatives, anyone who needs their spirit’s lifted.”

Many of the luminaries are personalized to honor loved ones, to remember someone who passed away, or say thank you in a unique way to recognize September 11.
