The Brazos Valley Veterans Memorial Board invites the public to their annual 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony on Monday, Sept. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the War on Terror site of Brazos Valley Veterans Memorial, located within Veterans Park and Athletic Complex.
The keynote address will be given by W. Nim Kidd, who serves as the Chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management and is the Vice Chancellor for Disaster and Emergency Services for the Texas A&M University System. In 1997, Chief Kidd was one of the original members appointed to the Texas Task Force 1 Urban Search and Rescue Team, and in 2001, he was the Plans Section Chief that responded to the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center.
The ceremony is free and open to the public. The Brazos Valley Veterans Memorial’s War on Terror site includes a steel relic from one of the World Trade Center towers, and life-sized bronze statues representing a police officer, firefighter, and special operations solider.
