Flags of Remembrance for 911 Victims | Sacramento News

Thousands of flags bloom across West Sacramento in a moving 25-year tribute to the 2,753 souls lost on 9/11, each flag representing a life and its homeland. Started by volunteer John Vinson in 2003 with just 14 flags, the memorial now includes Twin Tower replicas and invites passersby to pause and reflect. Though age has slowed Vinson, he returned for this milestone anniversary, joined by younger generations like Matthew Ferguson — who wasn’t alive that day but feels compelled to honor the fallen, even as he prepares to serve in the Navy. This roadside remembrance is more than a display; it’s a living testament to resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring call to never forget.
