Rally for America
The Rally for America is a recognition of Patriot Day that goes beyond the sorrow we experienced on September 11, 2001 and inspires us to a new and active patriotism. It is our hope that Dearborn County’s First Responders, Veterans, and citizens will come stand with us as we take time to appreciate those among us who sacrifice, or have sacrificed, their safety and freedom for that of others.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, September 11th, beginning at 11:00 am, on the front lawn of the Aurora Public Library. For more information please call the library at 812-926-0646.
