Summary
Westminster College honored 9/11 with 2,977 flags, one for each life lost, sparking powerful reflections on unity, resilience, and enduring grief. Former FEMA responder Mark Maupin shared harrowing memories of rushing to Ground Zero, where flags draped over bridges symbolized national solidarity. Students, some born after the attacks, grappled with a world forever changed — including Cooper Thompson, whose father served post-9/11. Maupin also delivered a sobering message: many in the recovery community have died by suicide, urging everyone to reach out and support those hurting. The ceremony wasn’t just remembrance — it was a call to action: check in on the living, honor the fallen, and never let silence replace compassion.
