Fremont Supervisor Haubert To Host 9/11 Memorial At Fairgrounds

PLEASANTON, CA — Fremont residents are invited to a 9/11 memorial event at the Alameda County Fairgrounds.

The event is hosted by Alameda County District 1 Supervisor David Haubert and will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. on the attack's 20th anniversary. Guests will park in the Altamont Corridor Express parking lot and gather in the fairgrounds amphitheater at 4501 Pleasanton Ave.

Nearly 3,000 "people were killed, and thousands more were injured at the World Trade Center in New York City," Haubert's office said in a statement. "We lost family members, loved ones, and first responders. We are asking you to join us to take a pause and remember all those who lost their lives on that tragic day."

Speakers and attendees will include first responders with the Alameda County Fire Department, Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department, Alameda County Sheriff's Office and Parks Reserve Forces Training Area. There will also be a guest speaker, who was not named in the statement.

Haubert, who represents Dublin, Fremont, Livermore and Sunol, said in the statement that he still vividly recalls Sept. 11, 2001.

"Our First Responders put their lives on the line that day to save our
people," he wrote. "We should always remember those we lost and our heroes on that horrific day."
