Debbe Peacock, Director, NWDRS, states " The simultaneous dove release will be held all across the US and 3 foreign countries, as of now. The individual companies will be participating in a Memorial Service at or near their individual home towns." Ms. Peacock goes on to say, " All this information can be viewed on our website, www.whitewingsoveramerica.com, and will be updated daily." The simultaneous release will take place on September 11, 2009 at 12:00 noon in the Eastern time zone. The adjustments across the nation result with the west coast (Pacific time) releases taking place at 9:00 AM.
The total number of doves being pledged for the memorial now totals more than 2,500 with dove release companies and individuals being added on an almost daily frequency.
