Residents Invited To Attend Remembrance CeremoniesSeptember 11 Marked At Community Events
On the sixth anniversary of one of the worst tragedies to occur in the United States, the city of Las Vegas, Clark County and the Metropolitan Police Department will remember those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and the families and friends of those lost who still suffer today.
The official community September 11 Remembrance Ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, September 11, at Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Fire Station 5, which is located near the corner of Hinson Road and West Charleston Blvd. The ceremony to remember those who were lost in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the fields of Pennsylvania, will include remarks by Congresswoman Shelley Berkley, Clark County Commission Vice-Chair Chip Maxfield, Sheriff Doug Gillespie and Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman.
The remembrance ceremony will include the posting of colors led by honor guard units from several public safety agencies. Also, a large U.S. flag will be hoisted above the station by the Las Vegas Fire & Rescue Department and the Clark County Fire Department ladder trucks.
Fire Station 5 has some unique features, including a steel beam from the World Trade Center that is on permanent display in front of the station. A special flag that has flown over "ground zero" at the World Trade Center that was presented to the city of Las Vegas in 2004 will be flying over the beam during the ceremony.
In addition, a piece of artwork designed by Citizens Fire Academy graduate Randy Soard, “Faces of the Brave,” will be on display. Soard will give a five minute speech about the project and the special photo that will be on display that day.
The city of Las Vegas is also hosting the second annual America Supports You Freedom Walk on Saturday, September 8. The 2.2-mile walk will begin at 8 a.m. at the Kellogg Zaher Sports Complex, located at 7901 W. Washington Ave. Mayor Oscar B. Goodman and Ward 4 Councilman Larry Brown will join the crowd in a moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Entertainer Clint Holmes will lead participants in the National Anthem. The posting of the colors will be presented by Las Vegas Firefighters’ Local 1285 Honor Guard, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Honor Guard and Nellis Air Force Base Honor Guard Colors Team.
The Freedom Walk started in 2005 as a new national tradition to reflect on the lives lost on September 11, renew our commitment to freedom and the values of our country and honor our veterans, past and present.
