College Republicans sponsoring flag memorial for 9/11

A flag memorial for the victims of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 will be sponsored by the Utah State University College Republicans Tuesday. The memorial will be set up near the flagpoles just south of the Taggart Student Center at USU.

Casey Saxton, president of the USU College Republicans, says the group will be honoring every victim with their own flag. The USU College Republicans plan to set up a total of 2,977 mini flags to honor every person whose life was taken either at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon or those on board United Airlines flight 93.

Saxton says the flags will serve as the immediate reminder to USU students who see the memorial to remember those who lost their lives that fateful day.
