Due to inclement weather conditions, the \u201cWe Will Never Forget: Field of Heroes Month\u201d 9\/11 commemoration ceremonies on Saipan and Tinian have been postponed again.<\/p>\n

According to Tan Holdings Community Relations vice president Catherine Attao-Toves, the displayed U.S. flags throughout the CNMI were temporarily taken out prior to the Tropical Storm advisory.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you are aware, we had to temporarily retire our flags prior to the tropical storm advisory. With the soft ground, we hope that the weather will start to ease up so the flags can be reposted. On behalf of Tan Holdings, the Tan Sui Lin Foundation, and committee members, we are thankful for your patience, as we weather this monsoon and additional forecasted showers,\u201d said Attao-Toves.<\/p>\n

She added that in hopes for the ground and weather conditions to improve, the commemoration ceremony will be moved on Sept. 24.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope to see you all on this day in RED event shirts\u2014the R is for Remember, E stands for Everyone, and D is for Deployed. Red is the color theme for this year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Rota will proceed with their commemoration ceremony tomorrow, while there is no advice for the Tinian schedule.<\/p>\n

It was last Aug. 26 when Gov. Arnold I. Palacios and Lt. Gov. David M. Apatang proclaimed September as \u201cWe Will Never Forget of Heroes Month.\u201d The proclamation marks the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.<\/p>\n

According to Attao-Toves, there will be no changes to the activities scheduled on Sept. 24. As part of the \u201cWe Will Never Forget: Field of Heroes Month.\u201d U.S. flags throughout the CNMI will be displayed at various parks to honor the lives lost and the heroic actions taken by first responders, veterans, and medical personnel.<\/p>\n

The community is still encouraged to join the \u201cWe Will Never Forget\u201d ceremony on Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. It was also during the proclamation when Department of Corrections\u2019 Lynnae Yobec read the \u201cWe Will Never Forget: Field of Heroes Month\u201d proclamation, highlighting the significance of the 23rd anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. She emphasized the profound impact of 9\/11 on the nation and the resilience shown by its citizens in the face of tragedy. She explained that the resolution commemorates the lives lost during the attacks and the ongoing support for the families affected by the tragedy.<\/p>\n
