Several hundred people attended the Matagorda County Patriot Day “9/11 Remembrance Troop Support Rally” at the new Bay City High School Memorial stadium Saturday, Sept. 11.
The event marked the 20th anniversary since the 9/11 terrorist attack on the U.S.
Guest speakers included local pastors and elected officials to music provided by the “Patriot Choir” and combined high school band members from Van Vleck, Bay City and Tidehaven schools.
Matagorda County Judge Nate McDonald was the master of ceremonies for the evening and gave introductions for everyone on the field.
“It’s great seeing our community coming together for an event like this,” he said.
“It shows not only how patriotic we are but how much we care about our fellow citizens. September 11 will not be forgotten in this part of Texas – or in Matagorda County at all.”
