Community Call for Speakers: 25th Anniversary of September 11 

August 20, 2026 – Mariposa County Sheriff's Office officials issue a call for speakers at this 9/11 anniversary event.

As we prepare to commemorate the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001, we are reaching out to our community in search of individuals who may be willing to share a personal connection to the events of that day.

We would especially like to hear from:

• Firefighters, law enforcement officers, first responders, or members of the military
• Individuals who were in New York City, Washington, D.C., or Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001
• Those who participated in rescue, recovery, response, or support efforts
• Anyone who lost or had a family member, friend, or loved one directly affected by the attacks
• Others with a meaningful personal connection to September 11 and its aftermath

We are seeking one or more individuals who would be comfortable sharing their story as part of our community’s 25th anniversary remembrance.

This is an opportunity to honor those we lost, recognize those who answered the call to serve, and help ensure that the stories and lessons of September 11 continue to be passed on to future generations.

If you or someone you know may be interested, please send us a private message or contact Kristie Mitchell, Public Information Officer at: sheriff@mariposacounty.gov or 209-966-3615 ext. 2232.

We will never forget.
