TO THE EDITOR:
UNC College Republicans is proud to announce the annual 9/11 Never Forget Project in conjunction with Young America’s Foundation and College Republican chapters across the nation.
Although Sept. 11 falls on a Saturday, we will be holding the 9/11 Memorial in Polk Place on Friday, Sept. 10. The memorial will consist of one flag representing every 10 of the 2,977 victims of that day.
We hope to create an environment where the Chapel Hill community can remember friends, family and our fellow American citizens who tragically lost their lives on that day. We will also be continuing the “Adopt-a-Flag” program, where one can donate $1 and write a prayer, a note, a memory or just a name on a slip of paper and attach it to one of the flags on the memorial.
All donations will be sent to the Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund, which supports the education of children of fallen soldiers. Last year, we were fortunate to send $175 to the fund; this year, please consider helping us exceed that amount to help the cause.
Sept. 11 was a terrible day in our nation’s history; do what you can to ensure that we will never forget.
Anthony E. Dent
Chairman
UNC College Republicans
