The Benton County Veterans Memorial Committee and the community of Benton County sponsored a candlelight remembrance and memorial program honoring the fallen and the families of those who lost their lives in the 9-11 tragedy. The September 11, 2010 program started at 7:00 PM with Les Whittle as Emcee. Candle GLOW STICKS were furnished for a lovely candlelight effect. Local police and fire fighters remembered their fellow first responders, many of whom sacrificed their lives or health to save others on September 11, 2001 and beyond during the long recovery process at ground zero. The program was held in front of the Benton County Veterans Memorial at 1100 NW Kings Blvd. in Corvallis, Oregon.
