The event is outdoors on the Los Gatos Civic Center Lawn and is FREE and open to the public. More information can be found on the Foundation’s website: <a href="https://honoravet.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://honoravet.org/</a> 
September 11, 2001, began as an ordinary, late-summer day. As the sun rose, fair weather and blue skies prevailed over much of the country and thousands of commercial airliners prepared for flight. But, in less than two hours' time, this seemingly routine day was transformed when 19 terrorists boarded and hijacked four commercial airplanes to attack America.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed when the hijacked planes were flown into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon near Washington, DC, and when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in the Pennsylvania countryside outside of Shanksville, PA.
Two local United Flight 93 heroes attempted to take back cockpit control from terrorists - Todd Beamer and Mark Bingham. Todd and Mark never wore a uniform and never attended any military training. Many would say they were killed in action. Their selfless acts of courage prevented the Capitol Building and all within it from being annihilated. Moreover, thanks to their quick efforts, our government escaped harm at a crucial time when it was critical to act against terrorism.
Americans have demonstrated on numerous occasions that they know how to RISE AGAIN, STAND UNITED, STAND STRONG. 9/11 was no exception. Today is proof positive that America knows how to RISE. A new World Trade Center adorns the footprint of the former Twin Towers and beautiful memorials commemorate the lives lost at the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and the crash site in Shanksville Pennsylvania. We commemorate the lives of Mark Bingham and Todd Beamer locally at our own Flame of Liberty Memorial located at the Los Gatos Civic Center. 
In the spirit of standing strong, the Veterans Memorial &amp; Support Foundation invites you to RISE and join us for a tribute to 9/11 heroes. Thanks to the generous donations of our premier sponsors – Lisa Provenzano of Keller Williams International Bay Area Realty, and Rick Provenzano, owner of Provenzano Builders, along with the Town of Los Gatos and Los Gatos Living Magazine, the Veterans Memorial &amp; Support Foundation can bring this special message of courage and gratitude to our community. 
The Veterans Memorial &amp; Support Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that delivers honor, gratitude and healing to those who’ve served. It has the mission to improve lives, one Veteran at a time.

The Tropicales bring a 1950s Caribbean hotel party to life with torrid horns, tropical rhythms and infectious grooves. With a nod to New Orleans’ history as the northernmost port of the Caribbean, The Tropicales perform music from Trinidad and Venezuela, Martinique and Guadeloupe, and other destinations along the archipelago.
A fixture of the Crescent City's traditional jazz and Frenchmen Street scene, The Tropicales entertain regularly at festivals and clubs around the city. Frontman Charlie Halloran has released five albums under his own name, and made countless records alongside U2, Rickie Lee Jones, Trombone Shorty, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, John Boutte, Meschiya Lake and the Little Big Horns, Pokey Lafarge and Luke Winslow King. Additionally, Charlie’s horn is in the background on plenty of episodes of NCIS New Orleans, Treme, and other films and television programs produced in New Orleans. Charlie is a familiar face to everyone at the New Orleans Jazz &amp; Heritage Festival where he often performs more than 10 times a year alongside traditional jazz legends, plus Jon Cleary, Allen Toussaint, Calexico, the O'Jays, Irma Thomas, and many more.
