This flag is a memorial to those who lost their lives in the attacks of September 11, 2001.

It was erected by Grand Isle County residents during the 24 hours following the event. Flying from a birch pole set on a sand bar in the lake, it was later moved to higher ground.

On September 11, 2010, the flag was moved to this permanent site in a ceremony including fire fighters, police rescue personnel and ordinary citizens.

May we never forget.

The flag and pole are maintained by the Grand Isle VFW and the Vermont Department of Transportation.

*An odd location issue: according to maps, this spot is in the Town of Milton (Chittenden County), but the Vermont Department of Transportation considers it part of South Hero (Grand Isle County).

Date of Dedication: 09/11/2010

Name of organization that built the memorial: Citizens of Grand Isle County, Vermont

Private or Public Monument?: Other
