SEPTEMBER 11 REMEMBRANCE EVENT:
Twenty-five years later, the events of September 11 continue to remind us of the courage, sacrifice, and unity that define our nation.
Honoring America’s Veterans invites you to join them on Friday, September 11, at Scottsdale Field House,
7408 E. Osborn Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
for a special remembrance program honoring those whose lives were forever changed on that day.
Event Schedule:
• Breakfast: 7:30 a.m.
• Program Begins: 8 a.m.
• Return to Work: Approximately 9 a.m.
We are honored to welcome Rear Admiral Craig Quigley, US Navy (Ret.), who was serving at the Pentagon on September 11 and will share his firsthand experience from one of the most significant days in our nation's history.
The program will also feature a meaningful 13-fold flag ceremony and highlight our upcoming Flag Retirement Ceremonies to be held at later times, in partnership with the Scottsdale Fire Department and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW).
This will be a powerful opportunity to reflect, remember, and honor those who served, sacrificed, and responded with extraordinary courage.
THIS IS NOT A PERCH BASE EVENT, but we are invited. Please Register Today: Honoring America’s Veterans need an accurate attendance count and are asking everyone to register immediately. Your prompt registration will help them finalize event planning and ensure we are prepared for all attendees.
Don't wait. Please take a moment to register today and encourage your colleagues to do the same.
A flyer with additional event details on the Tattered Flag Project is linked HERE.

Thank you for helping Honoring America’s Veterans make this important remembrance event a meaningful tribute to those we honor each year.
