[ARCHIVED] 9-11 Remembrance Ceremony – 17th Anniversary

SMFD Bagpipers; Firefighters Micah Harris, Robert Dallimore, and Battalion Chief Jim Matano.

The San Marcos Fire Department would like to extend an invitation to you and your family on Tuesday, September 11, 2018, 8:45am at San Marcos City Hall, 630 East Hopkins Street.  It is the 17th anniversary since the terrorist attack on our country.


The Remembrance Ceremony will be held at City Hall and will last approximately 15 - 20 minutes. The San Marcos Fire Department Honor Guard will raise the flag that was flying over San Marcos City Hall the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.


Following the flag raising will be renditions of the Pledge of Allegiance, National Anthem sung by Tammy Strakos, as well as a performance from the San Marcos Fire Department Bagpipers.  Mayor John Thomaides will follow with a proclamation and moment of silent reflection.


Flowers will be provided to place on the 9-11 Flower Memorial. May we never forget those who sacrificed their lives to keep our country 'Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.’
