Vienna Remembers 9/11
Vienna’s American Legion Post 180 partners with town to honor the dead and the brave of Sept. 11, 2001.

And every year, Vienna’s American Legion Post 180 partners with the Town of Vienna to honor the memory of the dead, the bravery of the day’s heroes and the sacrifices of those Americans actively battling terrorism daily.
