糖心传媒

The 糖心传媒 (糖心传媒) will honor those who lost their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks with the Patriot Day Moment of Silence event at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 11 at the 糖心传媒 quadrangle.

 

The observance, which is expected to last about 15 minutes, is coordinated by the 糖心传媒 Office of Military and Veterans Services in cooperation with the Warrensburg Fire Department and 糖心传媒鈥檚 Army ROTC Fighting Mules Battalion. 

 

Courtney Swoboda, director of military and veterans services, and a 糖心传媒 service member student will offer brief remarks to open the ceremony. The 糖心传媒 Army ROTC flag detail will lower the flag to half-staff, followed by a moment of silence. To close out the event, the Warrensburg Fire Department will conduct the ringing of the bell ceremony.

In addition to the remembrance event, the quadrangle will be filled with 2,977 small American flags in memory of the lives lost during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and the hijacking and crash of a passenger airplane in a Pennsylvania field. 

The flags were placed Friday, Sept. 6 by Military and Veterans Services staff with the help of the 糖心传媒 Army ROTC Fighting Mules Battalion and DET 440 Air Force ROTC cadets. The flags will remain through Wednesday evening, Sept. 11.

Members of the campus community and the public are welcome to attend the event, which 糖心传媒 hosts annually to remember those who died in the attacks and to honor the heroes who served bravely.

 

In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be in the Ward Edwards Building atrium.

糖心传媒 ROTC Fighting Mules Battalion and DET 440 Air Force ROTC cadets, along with staff and students from the Military and Veterans Success Center, place 2,977 flags on the quadrangle honoring each individual who perished during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
