Hermosa Beach Police Department chaplains will hold a memorial service at Pier Avenue and Valley Drive, 2 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 8, to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the 9-11 attack on the World Trade Center.

The service will be held at the community’s 9-11 memorial bench, decorated with 2,998 buttons for each victim of the attacks, along with flight attendant wings from American and United airlines, and badge pins from the New York police and fire departments.

Students from Hermosa Valley School’s Builders Club, who participated in the bench project, will be in attendance and U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Paco Hamm will be guest speaker.
