The City of Euless has announced a ceremony to honor the lives lost in the September 11 attacks, scheduled to take place at the 9/11 Memorial on North Ector Drive, September 11 at 9:00 a.m. A 12-foot-long, 6,000-pound steel beam from the World Trade Center, an artifact representing the devastation of that day, is prominently displayed at the site, serving as a stark reminder of those who perished. In a statement obtained by the city's calendar event listing, the community is invited to gather and remember the heroes of that day.
Officials have made it clear that the event is not just a somber commemoration but also a reflection of the city's commitment to keeping the memory of September 11 alive; this is evident in the placement of the WTC artifact at the forefront of the Euless Fire Administration Building. The beam, which once supported one of the tallest monuments of America's economic might, now stands as a testament to resilience, much like the city itself, which has continued to grow and heal since the attacks. According to the city's event calendar, everyone is welcome to participate in this act of collective remembrance.
The city has also made provisions for those with accessibility concerns. Euless’s ADA Coordinator, Connie Scott, has been designated to ensure that modifications or accommodations are provided to attend the ceremony. As outlined on the City of Euless website, requests for auxiliary aids or services for effective communication should be made no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event to facilitate arrangements.
