This summer I have been given more practical knowledge and firsthand experience of security and law enforcement matters than any college-level course could provide.

International Flags Fly in 9/11 Museum
This week, 99 international flags were installed in the 9/11 Memorial Museum pavilion to commemorate the victims of 9/11. Visible from the 9/11 Memorial plaza, these flags help to signify the victims’ countries and epitomize the global impact of 9/11.
The installation of these flags recall those hanging in the mezzanine level of the original Twin Towers. Some of the flags, which were not on display on 9/11, are part of the museum’s collection.

The museum is proud to display the flags of these countries in memory of the 2,977 victims of 9/11.
