It seems that every generation has an event that occurs during their lifetime that writes in such permanent ink.
The event cannot be forgotten, and for many, they can recall not only the event but specific details about the day of that event.
9/11

On Saturday, a number of community members gathered in front of the Belding Fire Department to recognize the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and pay respect to those killed in the attacks.

During last Tuesday’s meeting, the Belding City Council unanimously approved resolutions regarding traffic control and street closures for three separate events —a 9/11 remembrance program, the annual Glow Run/Walk 5K being put on by the B Foundation and the Belding Labor Day Celebration.
