ATSU and the Kirksville community commemorate those lost for Patriot Day
Posted: September 12, 2017
A.T. Still University-Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine’s (ATSU-KCOM) Student Association of Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons worked with the Kirksville community for Patriot Day. Annually, these entities work together for Patriot Day to honor those that were lost due to the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
The ceremony was held on the courthouse lawn in downtown Kirksville. Local firefighters, police officers, and emergency medical service teams were on hand to show their support for those lost that day. Two ATSU-KCOM students shared personal accounts of how the attack affected them in their lives and how the country pulled together as one to help.
