PROVIDENCE -- To honor those who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the State House dome will be illuminated with red, white and blue lights for the next five nights, Governor Carcieri announced this morning.

“This is a fitting way to pay tribute to those who lost their lives on Sept. 11," Carcieri said in a statement. "They will always live on in our hearts. While they are casting light down upon us, it is our hope that these lights will show the world that we will never forget Sept. 11 and the brave patriots we lost on that day.”

Carcieri was joined this morning at a State House ceremony by Rhode Island's Congressional delegation and other public officials.
