First Responders Memorial - A Salado Community Event

On Saturday, September 11, 2021, our country will remember those lost in the violent terrorist attacks on our nation and the valiant and selfless acts of hundreds of First Responders who answered the call 20 years ago. Here in Salado, a Texas shaped granite memorial featuring the shoulder patches of the 7 local agencies that serve our community will be dedicated, and local First Responders will be recognized. Please join us along with elected local officials including U.S. Representative John Carter, Texas State Representative Brad Buckley, Texas State Representative Hugh Shine, Justice of the Peace Cliff Coleman, and Salado Mayor Michael Coggin, in a ceremony at 10:00 a.m. near the gazebo on the grounds of the Salado Civic Center. Although some chairs will be available, we encourage you to bring lawn chairs to the event.
