U.S. Border Patrol Big Bend Sector will remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost and the first responders that answered the call during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks with a commemoration ceremony at the Alpine, Texas, Border Patrol Station on September 11.
The observance will take place at the station’s 9/11 Memorial, which features a 1,300-pound steel artifact recovered from the ruins of the World Trade Center — one of only a few such artifacts located on federal property. The event will include U.S. Border Patrol Big Bend sector leadership, state and local law enforcement and the Alpine Fire Department and Emergency Services.
The local community is invited to attend the event, which runs from 9 a.m. to noon on Friday, September 11.
