On September 11, 2001, thousands of people lost their lives in one of the most infamous attacks on America. We will honor & remember them during San Ramon Valley’s 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony. All uniformed scouts and leaders are invited to participate in this meaningful patriotic ceremony. Some Scouts will be pre-staged and some Scouts will march in holding American Flags at the All Wars Memorial. The guest speaker is Burt Upson, a survivor of the attack. He was in one of the towers that was destroyed and barely escaped with his life. All are welcome to attend the
ceremony and stay for a light meal afterward.
Contact Mrs Kim (925-735-3732) for questions.
