Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
A Sept. 11 observance is set for 4 p.m. Sunday in Clovis.
Curry County Manager Lance Pyle mentioned the event as the Curry County Commission special session was wrapping up Wednesday.
Pyle said the Clovis observance is part of a nationwide effort to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
“Curry County Youth Services is partnering with Global Youth Justice Inc. to host 1 of 75 official public memorials across the country,” Pyle said.
Pyle said this is the second annual “9/11 Day Flag of Honor Across America Memorial.”
The Clovis ceremony will involve the reading of the names of 65 different adult victims who died that day and afterward from causes directly related to the attack.
“We must never forget that day,” Pyle said. “The day our country experienced the deadliest terrorist attack on our soil and remember the victims, heroes and responders.”
The event will be at the Curry County Courthouse at Seventh and Main streets.
Pile said there will be seating available and standing space.
