Nevada Governor Sandoval orders flags to half-staff for 911 observance; ceremony Sunday in Carson City
“In the past 15 years much has transpired in our country, in the world, and in our lives. Each year in towns and cities across our nation, Americans pause to reflect, mourn, comfort and take pride in the truth that America remains the greatest nation on earth. We recommit ourselves to the idea that as Americans, there is more that unites us than divides us and that when the hour is darkest we can become one family, one nation,” said Sandoval.
“This September 11, we honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces who have answered the call to serve our nation. We pay tribute to the selfless commitment of first responders, firefighters and police officers in communities across our nation. And, we remember those who have fallen, the wounded warriors who have come home, and the many who remain deployed,” the governor concluded.
Sandoval will deliver remarks at the September 11 ceremony this Sunday in Fallon at 2:30 p.m.
Meanwhile in Carson City there will be a remembrance ceremony Sunday, 8:15 a.m. at the World Trade Center I-beam memorial in Mills Park. The World Trade Center I-beam Memorial is located in the grassy area not far from the Marv Teixeira Pavilion at the east end of Mills Park near East William and Saliman streets. Go here for the story from earlier this week.
