Where were you on this day 24 years ago? For our troop members, they hadn’t been born. Yet they recognize the importance of 9/11. Thank you to all our first responders.

Thank you to the community volunteers for coming out to set up nearly 3,000 flags honoring the memory of those we lost on 9/11/01. We had scouting units, Alexandria Technical and Community College law enforcement students and passersby stop by to help. We live in a great community. Please join us on Thursday 9/11, for a remembrance ceremony starting at 8:30 am.

Thank you to all who helped setup flags today honoring all those who lost their lives on the 9/11 attack. Thank you to the scout packs that helped as well as the Alexandria Technical and Community College Law Enforcement students.

Thank you 3M for letting us set up on their lawn.
