Herkimer County Community College , area fire and police departments and the military joined with the Ilion Fire Department a Remembrance Ceremony to mark the 10th anniversary of the events of September 11, 2011 at a special event held at the Village of Ilion Fire Station, 1 Central Avenue, Ilion. Master of Ceremonies was Steve McMurray, WKTV news director. There were a variety of guest speakers who spoke about that day in 2001 and how it has affected everyone's life into 2011. The highlight of the event was the unveiling of a steel girder from the World Trade Center Twin Towers which has been mounted in front of the Ilion firehouse. The girder was presented to the Ilion Fire Department in recognition of their personnel who responded to the emergency in NY City on September 11th.
