"A September 11 memorial service and dedication of a memorial "Flag of Freedom" plaza was held at Missouri Southern on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2002. The memorial service took place in Taylor Performing Arts Center with area veterans, firefighters, police officers and community representatives in attendance. Following the service, a dedication of a "Flag of Freedom" took place on the campus oval near Billingsly Student Center. A donor, who wished to remain anonymous, funded construction of the memorial plaza that features a 20-foot by 38-foot American flag raised on a 100-foot pole. The words "Flag of Freedom Memorial" and "Dedicated September 11, 2002" in 3-inch brass lettering are embedded in textured decorative concrete."
