Tate Aggie Battalion Guards Wreath In Honor Of 9/11 Attack Victims
September 12, 2023
Monday, the Tate High School AJROTC Aggie Battalion guarded a wreath to honor the victims of the September 11, 2001, attack on America.
“As the guards went through the hot sunny day they kept pushing themselves remembering the lives that were lost for them to be here today,” said c/1LT Jayce Latzer. “Throughout the day there were many distractions especially during class changes and lunches, but through it all we still kept out bearing and didn’t let anything disturb us.”
Latzer, c/LTC Kencaid Sappington, c/MAJ Joseph Yasurak, c/CSM Daisa Vickers, and c/1LT Braydon Stringer were Aggie Battalion members that guarded the wreath.

Great job on Tate AJROTC for their remembrance wreath laying! Sadly though, 9/11 is quickly becoming a distant memory here and around our country. These types of public remembrance events aren’t being held anymore as evidenced here (Tate, the only school to have it posted it in the news). And yesterday, the current President didn’t visit one of the three memorial locations, the first to ever do so because it was not a priority for him. If you were alive back then, look back into your memory. Recall where you were and what you were doing on that fateful morning. Remember because we as a Nation pledged to never forget. May those who died in the horrific events on September 11th, 2001, and its aftermath, rest in peace. And for the survivors of 9/11, may they have God’s comfort today and in the future.
WAY TO GO TATE ROTC…you are our future but are so glad you remember the past and honor it!
Thank you for remembering something you weren’t even alive to witness. It means so much that there are young people who chose to do this while there are adults who simply don’t care anymore. Keep it up, young men, you are making us all proud! I pray for your continued leadership in this fallen world.
great job was there seen them doing it
Awesome job!
