25 Years Later Flags Remember | Irvine News

Three thousand flags stand solemnly outside the Corona Civic Center, each honoring a life lost on 9/11—25 years later. Volunteers begin reading every victim’s name at dawn, turning remembrance into ritual. For families like Rosa Ramirez’s, it’s a chance to speak aloud names of loved ones never met. Retired Marine Charles Thomas stands guard, his wife and brother among the fallen, urging never to forget. Younger generations, like five-year-old Rhys, absorb history through these silent tributes, hoping for peace. The display remains through Sunday, a quiet, powerful testament to resilience and memory.
