State Rep. Pat Outman (R-Six Lakes) today welcomed Trevor Wright, Montcalm County Veterans Services Director, to the Michigan House of Representatives’ annual 9-11 Memorial Ceremony on the Capitol lawn.

The ceremony included the ringing of a fire bell in memory of first responders and public safety officers who died honorably in the line of duty throughout Michigan in the past year.

During this annual tradition, legislators invite first responders and members of the military from their communities to be their guests for the service.

“It was a pleasure to have Mr. Wright join me for today’s memorial ceremony,” Outman said. “It’s a fitting time for this ceremony as we continue to remember and honor the heroes who responded to the tragic attacks on America 23 years ago today, as well as the many veterans who served in the years that followed. We can never do enough to thank our veterans and public safety officers.”
