Steelworkers, families and the public will gather in Weirton today for Steelworker Memorial Day.
Each year on April 26, a service honors the 117 steelworkers who have died while working at the mill.
Those names are listed on a memorial on County Road and are read aloud while a bell is rung.
This is the seventh year for the service, which local officials said is important to help the public realize how dangerous working at the mill truly is.
