ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL- It will be a somber but meaningful Wednesday, September 11 on the island.
The public is invited to a remembrance walk, where you can walk in memory of the Civilians, Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, and Airmen who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9-11-01.

Participants will start the event at 6 a.m. at the Memorial Field. At the conclusion of the walk, participants will place the flags in what soldiers call, a Field of Honor. A remembrance ceremony starts at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday. Major General Steven A. Shapiro, Commanding General of the U.S. Army Sustainment Command will speak at the event.
