September 11 Memorial Event
The following is a press release from Wildlife West Nature Park:
On Friday, September 11, 2009 the largest simultaneous white dove release in history will take place across America as a national memorial to those who died on September 11, 2001. In New Mexico the only location for this special recognition for victims and fire fighters who perished that day will be held at Wildlife West Nature Park in Edgewood at 10:00 a.m.
The release of white doves will take place in locations from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, in communities from large cities to small town all across America. Wildlife West Nature Park was selected as the only site in New Mexico for this national memorial in part because Tom Smylie, world-renowned falconer, will handle the release of the birds (the birds will fly back to his home in Edgewood).
The public is invited to attend and to honor those who lost their lives on this devastating day. Admission to Wildlife West is free during the day for this special ceremony.
