In the memory of those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, Georgia Highlands College (GHC) students, faculty and staff placed 2,977 American flags on the courtyard of the college’s Cartersville site.
The event, known as the “9/11: Never Forget Project,” was made possible through the help of around 25 volunteers, including Veterans Affairs Coordinator Amy Wise and the Student Veterans of America Club, Professor of Biology Tom Harnden and volunteers from the Sons of the American Revolution, as well as English Professor Rachel Wall and students from her American Literature class.
“This is the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and some of our students may not have been born or were too young to remember when this tragic event took place,” Wise said. “It is important to remember the families that still miss loved ones – and how this significant event impacted our nation forever.”
