SAN ANGELO, TX - The San Angelo Police and Fire Departments are scheduled to host a public 9/11 memorial service at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11.

This will happen at the city’s 9/11 monument near Celebration Bridge along the Concho River, adjacent to the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, 1 Love St. 

The local 9/11 memorial was dedicated on Sept. 8, 2003, in honor of those who died in the attacks, according to the city.

San Angelo’s is one of a few memorials in Texas that includes a piece of steel from Ground Zero in New York City.   

The monument’s original World Trade Center steel artifact was stolen in 2016. In 2017, the Velez family donated another steel artifact from Ground Zero. It is now a centerpiece for the monument’s repair and restoration, the city stated.
