This year’s vigil takes place on Wednesday, Sept. 11, at the Sentinel in front of the Student Alumni Union. Taps will be played in front of a flag array at 8:46 a.m., 9:03 a.m., 9:37 a.m. and 10:03 a.m. as a tribute to individuals who lost their lives during the four terrorist attacks in New York City; Washington, D.C.; and Pennsylvania.
