9-11 20th Anniversary Memorial Recognition Ceremony (Stephenville)

September 11, 2021

Tarleton is partnering with the city of Stephenville and Erath County to commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11. The ceremony will pay tribute to 9/11 victims and their families, and honor the courage and sacrifice of first responders.

The event begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 11 and takes place at the Administration Mall (near the O.A. Grant Building and Alumni Island) on Tarleton’s Stephenville campus. The community is invited.

Free parking will be available in Lot 10 just off Lillian Street. Students in Tarleton Serves will assist.

A Field of Flags will fly at Tarleton’s O.A. Grant Amphitheater, recognizing the three firemen who raised the red, white and blue on a mangled pole amid the destruction at Ground Zero. The display is open to the public Sept. 8-14.
