This year marks the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It’s a time in history that The American Legion will never forget.
For over two decades, American Legion posts have conducted ceremonies on 9/11 to ensure that their communities don’t forget the lives lost that day or those lost while fighting the global war on terrorism prompted by the attack. The American Legion wants to hear how posts are remembering the 23rd anniversary of Sept. 11. Please email sbrooks@legion.org with details about your event, and then share your stories and photos on Legiontown.
A few events already scheduled:
· Continuing a tradition dating back to 2010, American Legion Hunter-Morris Post 911 in Cedar Park, Tex., will partner with Cedar Park’s Park and Recreations Department to host a community Sept. 11 remembrance ceremony. It will take place in the evening at the Veterans Memorial Park and will have participation from area high school ROTC programs providing a color guard, Cedar Park police and fire departments, as well as other community members. Fox 7 News correspondent and Blue Star dad Rudy Koski will serve as emcee.
