• On Sunday Sept. 11th, many honored those we lost 21 years ago in the tragedy of 9/11. The City of Round Rock and many volunteers placed 4,000 American flags at Yonder’s Point in tribute to the lives lost. 2,996 flags, one for each American life, and the remaining 1,004 flags represent Texans we have lost since 9/11. Check out the lovely display of American flags photo here.
