Subject: NEWS Release: Commemoration of Global War on Terror and 9/11 Attack at Veterans Memorial Park

On September 11th, 2026 at 10:00 am, the Veterans Memorial Park Board of Wichita will host a ceremony to commemorate the events of 9/11/2001 and pay tribute to the Veterans who served in the subsequent Global War on Terror. Held at the Park’s Operation Freedom Memorial, the event will begin with the presentation of the Colors by a color guard, National Anthem and Pledge of Allegiance. This is followed by an Invocation and speaker’s remarks. After the playing of Amazing Grace, the American Legion Post 4 Honor Guard will fire a 3-volley salute. The event will conclude with the bugler(s) sounding TAPS for those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. This event is open to the public, but since there will be limited seating guests may want to bring their own lawn chairs.

The Wichita 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb will be held Sunday, September 13, 2026, at the Epic Center in downtown Wichita. We have once again been asked to provide flags for “Flag Row” and to welcome, thank, and encourage teams as they enter for their climb.

Ride-in Information
Sunday September 13th
9/11 Memorial Stair Climb - Epic Center - 301 N Main, Wichita KS

Meet/Stage: Post 4 (816 N Water, Wichita KS) - @ 7:15 am
All bikes/trikes that can, please bring your American flags so we can flag up for the ride.
KSU: @ 7:30am

Flagged bikes, followed by flagged trikes - All unflagged bikes/trikes/cages will fall in behind.

RC - John Cartland

Additional Details: Opening Ceremonies start at 8am and the first teams will enter the building at 8:30am.
Flags will be staked in the ground so you will not have to hold the flag. You will stand next to a flag and offer encouragement and thanks to teams as they enter the building. The event will run until all teams have entered the building (usually around 12pm). You will not have to stand the entire time and if you can't stay the entire time, that is ok. Stay as long as you are able.

This year's climb marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Participants nationwide will climb the equivalent of 110 stories—more than 2,200 steps—to honor the 343 fallen FDNY firefighters/first responders and ensure we NEVER FORGET.

We are honored to support this event and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation’s work supporting Fire Hero Families and firefighters.

Thank you in advance!!
