Arlington To Hold Annual Ceremony Virtually on 9/11

Associated Press

   ARLINGTON, VA. - Arlington County is conducting its annual Sept. 11
   ceremony as a virtual event.
   The county is home to the Pentagon, where 19 years ago hijacked
   American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the west side of the building,
   killing 184 victims.
   A remembrance ceremony scheduled for Friday will be livestreamed on the
   county's website to accommodate the coronavirus pandemic. The program
   begins at 9:30 a.m. with a presentation of colors by a county honor
   guard, followed by a wreath laying at the county government center.
   A moment of silence will be held at 9:37 a.m., the moment the plane
   struck the Pentagon.
