Americans faced what is best and what is worst about themselves. llj w Wlay that embodied heroism. 4 The now-immortal words, Let ' s roll, were uttered by United Airlines Flight 93 passengers as they stormed the cockpit and crashed the plane ,nt0 a Pennsylvania field rather than its intended target. The images of dust-covered fire¬ lighters raising the American flag over the smoking rubble °f the World Trade Center and Pentagon. The quiet, P r oud sorrow of those w ho lost loved ones in be attacks or the aftermath. On September 11, 2002, the one-year anniver- sary was memorialized n the national level, Politicians and 9 11 heroes w ere speakers on many talk shows and news broadcasts. At the university, students placed 1,000 red, white and blue carnations at Fulbright Memorial Peace Fountain. Short speeches were given by Associated Student Government President Stephanie Gosnell, Saad Abbasi of the International Student Organization, law Professor Robert Lawrence and Chancellor John A. White. Some students cried, and oth¬ ers solemnly bowed their heads. Others remembered the day in their own ways at other Places. Our only hope is to honor those that died by remembering America ' s loss, AVhite said. 3D o C $! o Ht Rachel Howard
