And today, I am humbled to have the honor of announcing the permanent installation of this plaque.
This plaque reminds us that the threat from foreign terrorists like those involved in the September 11 attack is one we must constantly guard against.
By Governor Pete Rickett September 3, 2021
On this anniversary of 9/11, we also remember all of the brave women and men who gave their lives in Operation Enduring Freedom (2001-2014) and Operation Freedom’s Sentinel (2015-2021). This includes Marine Corporal Daegan Page, the 23-year-old Millard South graduate who died defending freedom last month in Kabul. Daegan’s sacrifice, and the dedicated service of heroes like him, have prevented terrorists from perpetrating additional attacks on the United States.
