The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board (CSRAB) is seeking volunteers to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001 with a memorial flag display on the west lawn of the Ohio Statehouse. On Thursday, September 9, 2021, a brief program will begin at 4 p.m. on the West Plaza of the Ohio Statehouse. After the program, volunteers from across central Ohio will install the thousands of flags that comprise the memorial.

Volunteers are needed to help install the 2,977 flags representing the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93. Volunteers are welcome to attend the 4 p.m. ceremony, and the installation is planned from approximately 4:45 to 6 p.m. Sixty volunteers are needed to plant the flags in the lawn of the Ohio Statehouse. A few volunteers are needed to straighten the flags on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and to de-install the flags on Monday, September 13 at noon.
