The event, which is held annually to honor those lost during attacks at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and on Flight 93, will include a large flag display, the Travis Air Force Base Honor Guard and their Flag Folding Ceremony, local Blue Star Moms and Operation Postcard, as well as the Lafayette Boy Scouts color guard. There will also be a special 13th anniversary music program, and historical artifacts will be on display. The candlelight vigil will begin at dusk. This is a family oriented, educational, and non-political event, where all groups are welcome. Free 9/11 commemorative flags for children. For more information, visit www.nevereverforget911.com.
