This year, The Columbian Foundation gathered at Eagle Rock Reservation for our Annual Flag Raising & 9/11 Memorial, a solemn occasion to pay tribute to the lives lost on 9/11 and to honor those who bravely served during and after this tragic time. With deep gratitude, we extend our thanks to the service members who responded with courage on that fateful day, as well as those who continue to serve and protect our nation.
We also wish to honor all current service members, whose dedication and efforts—both within the Italian American community and beyond—embody the very spirit of service and sacrifice. Your contributions will never be forgotten.
A special thank you to the staff at Eagle Rock Reservation for their invaluable support in hosting this event, allowing us to remember, reflect, and pay homage together.
Please enjoy a few photos from this meaningful day.
God Bless.
