Never Forget
On September 11, 2023, the Garfield High School Army JROTC in collaboration with student leadership (ASB), the Garfield HS band Brass Ensemble, faculty and administration, and volunteers from the Garfield Parent Center, gathered to commemorate one of the nation’s greatest tragedies.

This year, the Bulldog Battalion welcomed, the Director of Army Instructions: JROTC Los Angeles Headquarters, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1013, Marine Corps League, Field Representative County Supervisor Hilda Solis’s Office, US Marine Recruiting, Navy Recruiting, and the East Los Angeles Sherriff’s Department. “Let Us Never Forget.”
