University of Arkansas Veterans and 9/11 Memorial Flagpole - Fayetteville AR - 9/11 Memorial Sites on Waymarking.com

"Many of today’s traditional college students were not even teenagers when terrorists commandeered four commercial airliners and used them to attack New York City and Washington, D.C., on Sept. 11, 2001, but the events of that day are something with which they have all grown up, a central underlying event of their generation.

For another member of the campus community, alumna Sara Elizabeth Low, the events of that day ended her life. Low, who grew up in Batesville and earned business degrees at the University of Arkansas, was a flight attendant on American Airlines Flight 11, the plane that crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center.

In honor of Low and the other 2,752 people who died as a result of the terrorist attacks, students at the University of Arkansas have organized memorial events commemorating the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 that include placing flags on the Central Quad for each of the victims, raising funds for a permanent memorial flagpole on the Old Main lawn, a campuswide blood drive and volunteer opportunities."
