The SLW Centennial HS Navy JROTC honored the souls that were lost during the Patriot Day Ceremony on September 11, 2025. The Ceremony was conducted at 8:00am at which time the company was brought to attention and the Company Commanding Officer, c/LCDR Brittany Burke. She had the company “Present Arms” (salute) as the Ensign (United States Flag) was raised by the Flag Detail.
The Flag Detail, c/SN Cameron Pecci and c/SN Jess Fasci, and the Flag Detail Commander, c/PO3 Angel Flannigan, raised the Ensign slowly to the top of the Flag Mast and then slowly brought it down to half-mast with a bugle playing “Taps” to honor the souls that were lost on that fateful day 24 years ago.
Once the Ensign was lowered to halt-mast the Company “Ordered Arms” (cut their salute) and the history and meaning of the ceremony was read to those who attended the ceremony. The Ceremony was concluded by a prayer and the cadets all returned to class.
