Pepperdine University set up its annual “Waves of Flags” on Saturday to honor and remember victims of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
Nearly 850 volunteers including students, faculty members and staff from the university, raised American flags representing the 2,977 victims of the Sept. 11 attacks in which airplane hijackers destroyed the Twin Towers in New York City, crashed a plane into the Pentagon, and crashed a plane in rural Pennsylvania after passengers took action against the hijackers.
Also raised were one national flag for each foreign country who lost citizens that day.
Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the private university’s eye-catching display of flags — a tradition started by students in 2008 — is up through Sept. 27 at Alumni Park, 24255 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu.
People who visit the display are invited to write a note of remembrance, a prayer or a healing thought on a note card (provided at the entrance of the display) and then attach their note to one of the flag poles.
The university is holding a “9/11 Remembrance Ceremony,” 9 a.m. Sept. 11. Register in advance to attend (tinyurl.com/4umdnj2e). The ceremony is also held at Alumni Park.
