Alamogordo Daily Digest Friday, September 11, 2026
Ty's Take
Twenty-five years is long enough for a generation to grow up not knowing what September 11th actually felt like, which makes today's memorials around town matter more than they might seem at first glance. We've got folks here with direct connections to that day, people who worked at Holloman or lost somebody, and their kids and grandkids need to understand that this place doesn't exist in some bubble separate from the rest of the country's history. The ceremonies we're holding aren't just about remembering; they're about making sure the younger crowd grasps why security matters, why we pay attention to what goes on at our military installation, why the stakes are real out here in the desert. That's what memorial work is for.
