On Friday, Sept. 11, 2015, the SGA and students of Bel Air High School gathered to put out flags in the front yard of the school as a symbol of the 2,997 victims of the tragedy. Each of the 2,997 flags represent one victim from that terrible day. This is the fifth year that the SGA has done this.

Two hijacked planes flew into the twin towers, another flew into the Pentagon, and the fourth plane crashed into a rural field in Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001, in a horrific attack of violence.

“The student government feels that it is extremely important to keep the memory of those lost alive. This tradition has gone on for several years and we plan to keep the tradition going on for many, many years in the future,” says SGA secretary Meghan Thompson.

The events that took place fourteen years ago are horrific and will never be forgotten. The brave and extraordinary men and women who sacrificed their lives to save others will always be remembered.

No one will ever forget September 11, 2001.
