REMEMBERING 9/11
Sunday, September 10
5:00 – 6:15 PM
The Veterans Memorial & Support Foundation invites you to join us to pay tribute to 9/11 Survivors, Victims and Heroes.
The ceremony will be held at The Flame of Liberty Memorial site which honors America’s Veterans, First Responders and two local 9/11 heroes – Todd Beamer and Mark Bingham – passengers aboard United Flight 93 who attempted to take back cockpit control from terrorist hijackers on that tragic day. Their actions resulted in saving the Capitol Building and all within it from annihilation.
Live Music
The day’s event will include performances and the musical tunes by very talented Summit Sisters.
Two decades ago, this self-described “mom band” in the Loma Prieta area often played for kids participating in Theatre in the Mountains at their cast parties. The band called itself The Summit Sisters, since they all lived off of Summit Road. After playing for a Theatre in the Mountains fundraiser, the band had so much fun, they decided to try playing a few gigs off the mountain. Since those early days, some of the personnel within the band has changed, but Jeannie Nieman and Paula Leary have remained in the band to the delight of local fans. In 2016 their act was enhanced with the addition of lead singer Marisa Thompson whose pipes and soulful voice stopped traffic at the 2017 Women’s March in Santa Cruz. 2021 brought the addition of the talented Sue Marvin, an amazing keyboard and bass player. The tunes of the Summit Sisters.
