Commissioner Naft, Las Vegas Raiders
to Honor First Responders on Sept. 11
Southern Nevada’s Emergency Response Agencies Invited to Nominate a First Responder to Help Raise the Flags at Allegiant Stadium

On Sept. 11, 2020, at 6:30 a.m. Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft will honor first responders at Allegiant Stadium by having a representative from each Southern Nevada emergency response agency take part in a ceremonial flag-raising event at Allegiant Stadium in honor of all those lost on Sept. 11, 2001.

Naft announced today that he is inviting every emergency response agency in Southern Nevada to nominate one individual to represent their team at the Allegiant Stadium flag-raising with him and the
Las Vegas Raiders in honor of the almost 3,000 people killed in the 9/11 attacks.

“I appreciate the Las Vegas Raiders’ community mindfulness in partnering with me as we recognize those precious lives lost while also recognizing the everyday heroes in our midst,” said Naft, who represents District A, which includes Allegiant Stadium. “The men and women of our local fire, police and ambulance services deserve to be honored every day.”

Individuals interested in representing their department, agency or company should contact their management for more information. The ceremony will take place on Sept. 11 at 6:30 a.m. in Ford Plaza in front of Allegiant Stadium.
