9/11 10th Remembrance Service
September 11th, 2011
6 PM Pinnacle Hills Promenade Sponsored by
VFWLA Post 3031, PHP, and Camp Alliance
By 9/11 VFWLA Co-Chairman Tammy Huffman
Event Description
This event was birthed out of VFW Ladies Auxiliary member, Linda Cerasale. Her husband, Richard, is a retired firefighter and two of her sons are currently serving as
well; one in Rogers, one in Bentonville.
She brought the vision to the Auxiliary meeting in January 2011 and asked for help to fulfill her dream.
I became the Co-Chairman/ Project Director for the 9/11 Remembrance Service.
The first meeting was held January 17th, 2011.
Linda’s vision was two ladder trucks with ladders extended as the backdrop for the speakers, dove release, and a choir singing. Echo taps would play as a finale.
We got started!
