Los Gatos Honoring Fallen Heroes, Victims For 9/11 Ceremony

LOS GATOS, CA — The town with a special connection to 9/11 heroes and survivors will host a heartfelt gathering Wednesday morning at the Flame of Liberty Memorial Site to pay tribute to those who have sacrificed for the nation.

The 50-minute commemoration will start at 10:30 a.m. at the site at the town's Civic Center Lawn located at 110 East Main St.

Notable dignitaries include retired U.S. Army Major General Kent Hillhouse; Apple Vice President Doug Beck, who with a long distinguished career in the military served in Iraq and Afghanistan; as well as two-time former Los Gatos Mayor John Lochner.

This will be the first of many educational programs to come to the new memorial site, which was unveiled within the last year. It features a 9/11 segment dedicated to the two Los Gatos High School heroes, Mark Bingham and Todd Beamer, who attempted to take back cockpit control from terrorists on board United Flight 93 and prevented the plane from destroying the U.S. Capitol or White House as believed by officials.

A dramatic re-enactment is defined by this clip.
