While visiting the Field of Heroes, please take a moment to scan the QR code to view the full list of names of the heroes we lost on September 11, 2001.

We are also proud to recognize the generous sponsors whose support helped make the Field of Heroes possible.

Most of all, we are deeply grateful to everyone who donated their time, energy, and effort to bring this project to life. The response from our community—and from visitors beyond Sanibel—has been truly remarkable. Thank you for helping us honor, remember and ensure that we never forget.

Please join us Friday, 9/11 at 8:15am sharp, as we gather in remembrance at our ceremony at the Sanibel Community Association "The Community House".

On Tuesday, 9/15 we will begin to disassemble the field. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact [email protected]

There are moments when words are not enough.

Across Sanibel Community Park, 2,977 American flags stand in solemn tribute to the lives lost on September 11, 2001. Behind every flag is a name. A family. A story. A life that mattered.

This Field of Heroes is more than a memorial. It is a powerful reminder of the enormous loss our nation endured, the courage shown in the hours and days that followed, and the responsibility we share to keep these stories alive for generations who were not yet born when September 11 changed our country forever.

We invite you to walk the field at Sanibel Community Park. Read the names. Remember the lives represented here. And take a moment to reflect on the promise our nation made 25 years ago:

We will never forget.

Please join the City of Sanibel on Friday, September 11 at 8:15 a.m. at the Sanibel Community House for our Waves of Remembrance – Morning of Reflection, as our community comes together to honor those we lost, recognize those who answered the call, and remember all whose lives were forever changed by September 11, 2001.

25 years later, their names still matter. Their stories still matter. And we still remember.
