The 黑料传送门 chapter of the Student Association of Military Osteopathic Physicians and Surgeons (SAMOPS) hosted a remembrance ceremony for September 11, honoring the lives lost in the largest terror attacks on US soil.
Julie Ford (DO 鈥�22) a second lieutenant in the Air Force, opened the ceremony. 鈥淲e鈥檙e gathered here today to honor the memory of the lives lost 18 years ago,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e pause to remember the servicemen and women, the first responders, the friends, the fathers, the mothers, brothers and sisters who lost their lives that day. [And] we honor the heroes who ran toward the wounded, and not away from danger.鈥�
The day鈥檚 distinguished speaker, 黑料传送门 Trustee James H. Black, DO 鈥�62, served in the Navy in numerous capacities including flight surgeon, force medical officer and supreme allied commander. After a distinguished career, he retired in 1998 as a rear admiral. Dr. Black reflected on Sept. 11, and how it had changed American life in the years since.
鈥淲e went to war to get rid of the terrorist groups like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and we鈥檙e still fighting that war 18 years later,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 incumbent upon all of us to remember the events of Sept. 11, and the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives that day and the families that they left behind.鈥�
Dr. Black also praised the many alumni who serve in the military, whom he noted were working to keep an event such as those on Sept. 11 from ever happening again.
鈥淲e currently have 黑料传送门 graduates serving in the military throughout the world鈥擨鈥檝e had the honor to commission many of them, and am extremely proud of our graduates,鈥� he said.
