Friday marks the seventh anniversary of the December 2, 2015 terrorist attack in San Bernardino. On that day, 14 people, including 13 county Environmental Health and Public Health employees, were taken from us. Many more were wounded physically and emotionally.

The County government family will always remember these 14 souls. The public is invited to join County employees in observing a moment of remembrance at 10:55 a.m. on Friday, December 2, on the County’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram platforms.

Please watch this video to remember those who were taken from us. Flags at all County facilities will be flown at half-mast on Friday. The county asks those who fly an American flag at home or at their place of work to also lower their flags on Friday.

The public is also invited to visit the Curtain of Courage Memorial, which is located on the east side of the County Government Center at 385 N Arrowhead Ave. in San Bernardino. This memorial serves to permanently honor the victims, survivors, and first responders from that tragic day. The Memorial was featured on CBS Sunday Morning on Nov. 27.

Resources are available to help those experiencing trauma due to the events of December 2, 2015.
