September 11, 2001. A date which will live in infamy. The United States was suddenly and deliberately attacked. This time, however, that attack has led to a seemingly eternal conflict that continues abroad to this day. As the Center searched for ways to honor the brave men, women, and children who lost their lives as well as those who still live to tell the story, one of the ways it was able to accomplish this desire was through a partnership between LPS and Capitol Hill Gang.
Capitol Hill Gang is a club sponsored by Olivet’s Political Science department. In the words of President Terrence Guy, the club’s goals are to, “… get people involved in political discussion, and to better inform our student body of the events currently happening in the world!” Last week specifically, that meant working with LPS to place small American flags in the front lawn of Olivet’s chapel in remembrance of the fallen. This has been an annual tradition at Olivet, and one that the Center through LPS strives to maintain.
While no one can undo the horrors of that fateful day, we can choose to look upon it with an attitude of honor and respect. Thank you to all the families associated in any way with this event or the military repercussions that have followed. As The Center for Law and Culture, we continue to stand with you in this battle for liberty and justice for all.
