ECC students remember 9/11 victims, push for peace - Courier News: "More than 100 students and faculty members attended the 9/11 Remembrance ceremony Friday outside the entrance to the community college’s Student Resource Center.
The ceremony included music, poetry and a moment of silence to remember victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Flight 93, and of the subsequent conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Several international students also recited “May peace prevail on Earth” in their native languages: English, Spanish, Arabic, Gaelic, Russian, Sanskrit, French, Urdu, Korean and Portuguese.
That sentiment is written on the college’s “peace pole,” which was set up on the lawn outside the Student Resource Center for the event.
The ceremony also included remarks by Elgin Community College Police Officer Lori Hermesdorf, who remembered the first responders who worked to rescue victims of the terrorist attacks. When the World Trade Center towers collapsed, 411 firefighters, paramedics and police officers were killed."
