Kellen Bruce Commemorates 9/11 in Annual Ceremony on the USS Midway

2015 Sep 11

On the fourteenth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on our nation, Kellen Bruce of Calabasas will join FDNY Retirees of San Diego and the greater San Diego community on the USS Midway to pay tribute to the first responders lost that day.

Bruce will travel to the Midway with COL Kevin Batule, USA (Ret), Commandant of Army and Navy Academy, where he will pay tribute in a touching ceremony. Participants will read the names of those lost, while a bugle plays Taps.

"As you go through life today, it is important to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of our first responders, military, and all professionals who pledge to keep our nation safe," said COL Batule, as he spoke to the students to emphasize the importance of commemorating 9/11.

The memorial will take place on September 122 at 2:30 PM on the deck of The USS Midway. It is a major community event, featuring a twenty-one gun salute, tolling of the bells by the SDFD, an emergency helicopter flyover, and a Harbor Police Fireboat Water Display.
