Those who we lost on September 11, 2001, will forever hold a cherished place in our hearts and in the history of our nation. By a joint resolution approved December 18, 2001, (Public Law 107-89), Congress authorized the president to designate September 11 of each year as "Patriot Day" to perpetuate the memory of those who perished in the attack on America and to pursue peace and justice in the world and security at home.

 

Shelby County Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8904 and the Auxiliary will remember and honor with a special Wreath Laying and the playing of Taps Friday, September 11, 2020, 10:00 am at the Veterans Memorial 1885 Historic Courthouse Center.  The public is invited.  Masks and social distancing required.

 

Flags should be flown at half-staff from sunup until sunset on Friday, September 11th, 2020.  More information contact Post Quartermaster Larry Hume, at 936-332-0349.
