Pembroke Pines is once again crowding the atrium of City Hall, 10100 Pines Blvd., to pay tribute to September 11’s fallen victims.

Hundreds of residents, military veterans, police and firemen alike will host a remembrance of the tragedy from 8 to 9 a.m. with a benediction, memorial service and speeches from city commission.

Meanwhile, the Pembroke Pines Honor Guard will display colors, while choirs from various Pembroke Pines charter schools will lead the ceremony with song.

Following the service, hundreds of Pines residents can hop aboard nearby community bus shuttles sitting in City Hall’s parking lot and visit the old Holly Lake Fire Station, 21451 Johnson St., which was transformed into an elaborate studio for Pines-based artists Benoit Menasche and Felix Gonzalez two years ago.

The purpose: a public viewing of the in-progress 9/11 memorial, a colossal steel and marble statue project that includes a series of soaring twin towers, an imported Italian marble base and four larger-than-life human figures.

There’ll be light refreshments, sandwiches and hors d’oeuvres available for families viewing the statues.

“This will be a very big affair,” said Menasche, who’s currently sculpting the memorial’s marble base. “People are coming to view our progress so far.”
