Members of U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground's Airborne Test Force joined the post's police and firefighters in raising the flag to half-staff at a somber ceremony commemorating the 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2011 terrorist attacks. In remarks at the ceremony, YPG Commander Col. Patrick McFall praised the courageous service of first responders on that terrible day, and that of uniformed personnel in the years that followed.
“After 9/11, thousands of Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation and values,” McFall said. “But thousands- I repeat, thousands- more of our troops were saved from death and injury by the work performed by our dedicated employees at Yuma Proving Ground. Our workforce proved year after year that it will rise to any challenge if it involves protecting our nation and its troops. ”
