9 11 We Remember On September 11th, 2001 much of the regiment of midshipman were only a few years old at the time. Despite their age, the impact of 9 11 still resonates with us 17 years later. On September 11th, 2018 the regiment gathered in remembrance of that fateful day. As the day went on we mourned the loss of all those who had died, but remembered all those from our faculty and staff who took to the call and ran to the towers. Great Neck Alert also took part in the events by allowing the American Flag to be flown from one of their fire engines on Barney Square. 9
