(AP) -In Summerville, thousands of school children wearing red, white and blue shirts will stand in a line, out lining a 16-acre site the size of the former World Trade Center in New York. In Columbia, a procession of emergency vehicles will wind past the Statehouse as Gov. Jim Hodges , attends a ceremony honoring emergency responders in Columbia. And as many as 6,000 people are expected in Greenville for an evening candlelight vigil honor ing those who helped in the Sept. 11 relief efforts. From the mountains to the sea, South Carolinians will, like people across the nation, pause Wednesday to remember last year’s terror attacks. They will remember amid candlelight and prayer, flags and patriotic mu sic, rifle salutes and tolling bells. /" . About 2,200 students from three schools in Summerville will create an outline of the at tack site, while other students will form the outline of two squares to show where the Twin Towers stood. A helicopter will hover 1,400 feet above the ground, the height of the top of the towers. The idea is to give students an idea of the vast scope of the de struction wrought by terror ists. The governor will start his day at an interfaith service - one of dozens to be held across South Carolina on Wednesday - and lat er attend the ceremony for emer gency responders. Wednesday evening, Hodges will attend an other memorial service in Columbia’s Finlay Park. Members of Clemson’s Pershing Rifles will fire a 21-gun salute at the Strom Thurmond Institute Plaza on campus Wednesday morning. About the same time, across the state at The Citadel, there will be a memorial service that will include the Muslim prayer of peace and other prayers as well as the mournful strains of “Taps.” Downtown, in Charleston’s Historic District, the bell on the old Charleston Fire Department tower will peal 343 times, once for __ u each New York firefighter who died responding to the attack. Nearby, a small flag for each of the almost 3,000 Sept. 11 vic tims will be placed in a city ■ park. Also Wednesday, one of only 25 remaining original copies of the Declaration of Independence will go on display in Charleston. Hollywood producer Norman Lear, who owns the copy, will help open the exhibit. In the Upstate, Spartanburg will host a memorial service in Barnet Park, with a 21-gun salute and a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., the time the first hijacked plane hit the World Trade Center. Later, bells will peal across the city, as they will in Greenville, where residents have spent the week leading up to the anniver sary paying tribute to the 9-11 vic tims and heroes with blood drives and volunteer projects. Schools across Oconee County will observe a moment of silence Wednesday morning. A memorial featuring patriotic music will be held at the Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant. Memorial services also will be held at military installations across South Carolina. - - - \ IfOt Need to Replenish your B- Vitamins?
