It's an day that will never be forgotten.  September 11th, 2001.

Diamond Jo Casino is welcoming the 9/11 Mobile Exhibit starting Monday (8/24).  It's a high-tech, 53-foot tractor trailer that unfolds into a 1,000 square foot exhibit that serves as a poignant reminder of that tragic day.

The memorial provides interactive education, including artifacts such as steel beams from the towers, documentary videos, recordings of first responder radio transmissions and live tours by FDNY-firefighters.

It will be open from August 24th to the 30th daily from noon to 8pm in the Diamond Jo Casino (south) parking lot.  All ages are welcome and there is no admission fee.

TristatesNightOut is planning an escort for the exhibit that will be arriving this Sunday. They're asking that anyone with a motorcycle, or any local police, fire, EMS, military, first responders that would like to participate meet at the Windstar Bus Lines, located at 10608 Jet Center Drive (next to airport) this Sunday at 2pm. The escort will begin at 3pm.

For more information you can contact Aaron Rainey from TristatesNightOut directly at 563-513-7314.

Never forget.
