Local organization hopes to place 2,977 flags on courthouse lawn in remembrance of September 11th
Seeking sponsors and volunteers

 

[August 20, 2021] 

This year will mark the 20th Anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack. The Young Conservatives of Logan County would like to honor and remember those who lost their lives in this tragic attack. We would like to display a flag on the lawn of the Logan County Courthouse for each individual who perished that day.

We are looking for sponsors to help us purchase the 2,977 flags and volunteers to help us place them.

The names of all sponsors will be on display on the courthouse lawn along with the flags. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor, please email the Young Conservatives at [e-mail].  The deadline for sponsorship will be Friday, August 27th. Details of the sponsorship will be shared with interested parties via email.

Flags will be placed and on display at the courthouse starting September 6th. The flags will remain on the lawn through September 11th.

In order to place nearly 3,000 flags on the lawn, the Young Conservatives need several volunteers to come out and help. The flags will be placed on September 5th. If you would like to help, please contact the Young Conservatives via the email provided. The Young Conservatives will contact all volunteers via email with more details. This would be a great way to get everyone involved and come together to remember this solemn moment in our history.

“We are extremely hopeful to have this opportunity to show our respect for those who died that day. Our hope with this flag display is to be able to do this every year as a remembrance. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you!”
