This past Monday, Sept. 11, Sobrato Future Farmers of America continued a tradition that started in 2010: creating a memorial to honor the victims of the terrorist attack in 2001.
The 9-11-01 design with the “11” representing New York City’s twin towers was chosen by the Sobrato FFA leadership class. The design is made of just under 3,000 American Flags, each one representing someone who died as a result of that tragic day in September. The flags were placed by both FFA members and non-FFA students early in the morning.
Students who were born in 2001 primarily make up this year and next year’s graduating class. As a result, Sobrato FFA plans to continue this tradition as a reminder to never forget those who perished as a result of the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history.
