Event coordinators are looking for two people who were serving on active duty during the attacks to talk about how that day impacted their lives. They will speak in-between announcements of each significant moment of 9/11 at the same time it occurred in 2001.
Volunteers are still needed to help set up course markers, set up tables, fill water jugs, set up cups and hand them out the morning of the event.
Anyone interested in volunteering should contact 1st Lt. Robert Boehm at robert.boehm.2@us.af.mil.
Run for the Fallen pays tribute to the nearly 3,000 people who died in the attacks on the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and onboard Flight 93, which crashed outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The event averages more than 1,500 people in attendance each year.
