LOVELAND — Vowing to never forget the emergency workers who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in New York City, local police and fire officials are planning a remembrance ceremony on the one-year anniversary.

        The event will be in Loveland and will feature emergency vehicles from across the region. More than 400 local police officers and firefighters will also march in a procession, each carrying a small flag with the name of an emergency worker who died at the World Trade Center.

        In a ceremony at Nisbet Park, officials will dedicate an addition to the existing Loveland Firefighters Memorial to honor the firefighters, police officers and emergency medical service workers killed in the attacks.

        The addition will be an inscribed granite plaque depicting the Trade Center towers.

        “As a country, we vowed to never forget the sacrifices made by our brothers in New York City,” said Loveland-Symmes Assistant Fire Chief Otto Huber. “Loveland will host the event this year and we would like to see another community step up to continue the tradition next year.”

        They hope the remembrance will become an annual event held in a different local community each year, Loveland-Symmes Fire Battalion Chief Andrew Knapp said.

        Dozens of federal, state, county and local agencies have agreed to participate, organizers say.

        The agencies include the Secret Service, the Treasury Inspector General, Gov. Taft's office, the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the Ohio Fire Marshal's Office and state representatives. Greater Cincinnati fire and police departments will also participate.

        The procession begins at 9 a.m. at Castle Skateland on Loveland-Madeira Road and moves to Nisbet Park.

        Any police officer, firefighter or EMS personnel interested in participating can call Chief Knapp at 583-3001.
