The entire world changed 10 years ago when terrorists attacked our nation, and we lost thousands of American lives in New York, Washington, DC and Pennsylvania. To honor the lives that were lost and to honor those who continue to serve us by protecting our freedoms around the globe, everyone is invited to a special commemoration on the 10th Anniversary of what we all now know as 9/11.

GSSWT invites all its members, families, and friends to join the observance, which will be held at Alamo Plaza, on the morning of Sunday, September 11, from 7:30 - 9:00 a.m. The commemoration is open to the public, and all are welcome. Read more here ...
