The Rotary Club of Omaha will once again honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, with the 9/11 Tribute of Flags Omaha at Memorial Park.
On Saturday, September 5, from 9:00–11:00 AM, Rotarians, Scouting America, and community volunteers will gather to set up nearly 3,000 U.S. flags, each representing a victim of the 9/11 attacks. Flags honoring victims with a Nebraska connection will be displayed in a special section.
Now in its 19th consecutive year, the tribute was originally organized by Lynn Castrianno in memory of her brother, Leonard Castrianno, who was killed at the World Trade Center.
The flags will remain on display through Monday, September 14. During the setup, the Irvington Volunteer Fire Department will also bring a steel beam from the World Trade Center’s South Tower.
