The procession then moves south on Drew Street to City Park. The Appleton police and fire departments, local military veteran groups and Clan Donald Pipes and Drums are scheduled to participate.
At 9:03 a.m., the time the second plane hit the World Trade Center, a ceremony will begin in City Park. Scheduled speakers are Mayor Jacob Woodford, Police Chief Todd Thomas, Fire Chief Jeremy Hansen, and John Oakley from Appleton VFW Post 2778.
It is also scheduled to include a wreath-laying, rifle salute and playing of “Taps.”
