On a cool morning at the highest point of the EmilyAnn Gardens and Theatre overlooking the Wimberley valley, a 9/11 memorial service was held to honor the victims and first responders of the nation’s worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil.
Organized by Mike Lukowiak of Oldham-Cummings VFW Post #6441, the ceremony opened with a recording of the hymn sung by children, “Let There Be Peace on Earth.”
Following prayers and a moving address by Lukowiak in which he recounted the details of the attack and named the two men who were named as 2025 Wimberley Patriots of the Year, Lukowiak introduced Alan Marburger, who spoke on behalf of one of the honorees, Michael Thibodeaux.
