Post 108's Annual 911 Community Memorial Placement Event

9/11 Memorial Tribute - Honoring Lives Lost

Hosted by The American Legion Post 108

Every year in September, The American Legion Post 108 leads the community in a solemn and powerful tribute to those we lost in the tragic events of September 11, 2001. This annual 9/11 Memorial Event serves as a living remembrance and a call for unity, reflection, and service.

At the heart of this memorial is a breathtaking and humbling display: 2977 placards, each bearing the name of a life lost on that day, are carefully laid out in the shape of a giant American Flag - a powerful symbol of unity, loss, and resilience.

The event is free and open to the public. Visitors are encouraged to walk through the memorial, reflect and remember.

Join Us in Service

Creating the tribute requires many helping hands, and volunteers are urgently needed. Whether you're an individual, a family, a school group, or an organization, your support is welcome.
