FALL RIVER, MA - Citizens and Public Officials gathered at Battleship Cove, the site of the Massachusetts 9/11 Memorial, to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001. They gathered for the city's annual "Rite of Reflection", where after remarks by Public Safety officials, there was a wreath laying, a 21 gun salute fired from the 9-inch guns on board the battleship, and a dove release followed by taps.
