🇺🇸 25 Years Later, We Remember.

Today, Barstow Community College gathered with community leaders, first responders, military personnel, veterans, educators, students, and residents for a 25th Anniversary Commemoration of September 11, 2001.

Surrounded by 2,977 American flags—one for each life lost—we paused to remember the people behind the number and honor the courage, service, and sacrifice that followed.

The ceremony included the MCLB Color Guard, the Pledge of Allegiance , and the National Anthem performed by BCC alumna Bianca Paolini. BCC Superintendent-President Dr. Eva Bagg shared an Anchor of the Community address, followed by keynote remarks from Chief Ryan Tworek of MCLB Fire.

A special thank you to Noah Norton of Barstow High School for his moving bugle performance of “Taps,” and to GySgt Joel M. Daniel, USMC (Ret.), for his beautiful bagpipe tribute of Amazing Grace.

We are grateful to the community leaders, government representatives, military personnel, first responders, veterans, partners, and members of our campus community who joined us in remembrance.

2,977 lives.
25 years.
Never forgotten.

🇺🇸 Together, We Remember. Together, We Honor.

2,977 Flags. One Community. We Remember. 🇺🇸

This week, the lawn at Barstow Community College is covered with 2,977 American flags—each one representing a life lost on September 11, 2001.

Twenty-five years later, we pause to remember the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends, colleagues, and heroes whose lives were taken that day.

These flags serve as a powerful reminder that behind the number 2,977 are 2,977 individual stories, families, dreams, and lives that mattered.

As our campus comes together to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we invite our community to pause, reflect, and remember.

2,977 lives.
25 years.
Never forgotten.

🇺🇸 Together, We Remember. Together, We Honor.
