The 9/11 Tribute of Flags Omaha will be on display to commemorate the anniversary of the attacks on September 11, 2001
On Friday, September 2, from 4:30 – 7:00 PM, the Rotary Club of Omaha will once again set up the 9/11Tribute of Flags Omaha in Memorial Park.
Each year, Boy Scouts and other volunteers join Rotarians to honor the lives of those lost on September 11, 2001. Almost 3,000 U.S. flags make up the display. The attacks on September 11, 2001, killed 2,977 people. Each flag bears the name and age of a victim, the location of where they died and personal information. The flags of those who have a Nebraska connection will be placed in a special section.
Lynn Castrianno originally organized this tradition as a way to honor of her brother, Leonard Castrianno, who was killed in the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, and as a way to honor all of the lives lost on this tragic day. This is the 18th consecutive year of the tribute.
The flags will be on display until Monday, September 12.
