North Canton had a full lineup of activities planned to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Saturday kicked off with a service at the Veterans Memorial in Bitzer Park, where Dennis and Marilyn Weaver presented a wreath to honor those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001.

Patches across Northeast Ohio and America are talking to people about how their lives have changed since that day 10 years ago
Whether they decided to join the armed forces, learned life lessons on the compassion of others or just paid closer attention to world news, Americans were changed by the events of Sept. 11, 2001, in so many ways.

North Canton residents Dennis and Marilyn Weaver reflect on the loss of their son and on 9/11, which they said united their family, their community and the whole country
Marilyn and Dennis Weaver will lay a wreath at the Veterans Memorial in Bitzer Park Saturday, and it's hard to say what will be going through their minds just before the 10th anniversary of 9/11 — a day on which nearly 3,000 Americans, including their son Todd, lost their lives. The North Canton couple talked with North Canton Patch recently about the city's 10th anniversary commemoration and coping with the loss of a loved one. They gave their insight into Sept. 11, 2001 — when terrorists hijacked four airplanes that crashed in Washington, D.C.; Shanksville, PA; and into the World Trade Center in New York City, where Todd worked.

The more people who found out about it, the more there were who wanted to be a part of it,” Buchanan said. “There are powerful memories of 9-11. People want to talk …
