911 Memorial & Freedom Walk

On September 11, 2008 we will be having a memorial service at the 911 Memorial located at the International Peace Garden beginning at 11:00AM. We have invited both Governor John Hoeven and Premier Gary Doer to attend and address those in attendance.

The keynote speaker for the day will be Dr. Earl Beal Faculty of Psychology the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks. His direct involvement that day was focused more on assisting families involved with the attack on the Pentagon. He was working as the director of the family support center at Grand Forks AFB and supported the staff of the family assistance centers run by the Air Force in the D.C. area.  

This year the IPG will host their first “Freedom Walk” in remembrance of “911” by continuing our tradition to reflect on the lives lost on September 11, 2001, renew our commitment to freedom and the values of our countries and to honor our veterans, past and present. This will be a Non-partisan/non-exclusive event open to the general-public. This is not a fundraiser for any organization, nor a platform to discuss politics or policies. We simply wish to remember.

Since 1932, nestled on the U.S. and Canadian borders of North Dakota and Manitoba in a symbol of friendship, lies a “One of a Kind” International Peace Garden. Reflecting pools and dazzling colorful floral displays of over 150,000 flowers splash across the grounds of the Formal Garden’s terraced walkways.

The 14-bell chime echoes faintly, as the length of the formal garden area is viewed from the upper terrace. In the distance, the 120-foot concrete Peace Tower, and the Peace Chapel can be seen at the end of the formal garden. Tourists ponder the beauty of the two floral displays of the American and Canadian Flags, the only two floral designs that remain the same each year. Presented to the Garden by the Japanese Government, seven Peace Poles in which, “May Peace Prevail” is written in twenty-eight different languages. Steel girders transported from the New York World Trade Center lie at rest at the 911 Memorial. Several buildings accommodate; conventions, bus tours, weddings, receptions, reunions, and socials of all types. Campgrounds for campers and RV’s are set among Aspen and Oak Trees.

Hiking and auto tours, through verdant Turtle Mountain Forests and past the pristine waters of Lake Udall and Lake Stormon, yields, as great a variety of birds, as found anywhere else in North America. Deer, moose, grouse, beaver and other game form a great marriage with the extensive variety of wild flowers, trees, and shrubs abundant in this “Like No Other Place on Earth” Garden.
