University of Missouri, City of Columbia honor lives lost on 9/11 – ABC17NEWS
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
To honor the lives lost on Sept. 11, 2001, the University of Missouri and the City of Columbia hosted its annual wreath-laying ceremony Wednesday morning.
The ceremony featured a procession and a flyover by an MU Health Care helicopter. The event also hosted the Mizzou ROTC Joint Service Color Guard, the City of Columbia Honor Guard and speeches from Mayor Barbara Buffaloe, Mizzou Naval ROTC Captain Thomas Ulmer and MU Provost Matthew Martens.
During the ceremony, speakers shared what they were doing 23 years ago, and how this day signifies unity for our nation.
“I remember the silence of campus,” Buffaloe said. “I remember us all kind of looking at one another, not knowing what was happening.”
The wreath-laying procession was led by members of MU’s Veterans Center and Missouri Task Force One. The task force is a 62-person group of Missouri responders who, for 14 days, helped search the wreckage of the World Trade Center.
Katie Clark, a native of New Jersey, attended the event. Many commuters from Monmouth County –where Clark grew up — who worked at the World Trade Center lost their lives that day.
“My take away from today’s ceremony was really acknowledgment and respect,” Clark said. “Feeling so far from home, being in Missouri, it brings me some pride to live here.”
During his speech, Ulmer encouraged the nation to stand united and stay committed to the ideals of freedom, justice, and peace.
“We must remember that the tragedies of 9/11, it’s not just one of tragedy, but it’s of hope and it’s of resilience,” Ulmer said. “It is a reminder that in the face of adversity, we are capable of extraordinary things.”
Music was provided by Boone County Fire Protection District Pipe and Drums.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — Despite conflict between the U.S. and Iran, gas prices in Missouri have been falling since last month, and even last week.
According to GasBuddy.com, average gas prices in Missouri have gone down 53.9 cents a gallon since last month and 9.9 cents per gallon since last week. This correlates with national average gas prices, which have been down 55.6 cents per gallon since last month and 6.9 cents per gallon last week.
Head of Petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, Patrick De Haan, says, “Fresh attacks were traded between the U.S. and Iran before both sides agreed to halt hostilities just in time Sunday, preventing what could have been a significant spike in oil prices.”
Patrick says that even though the market is unpredictable at the moment, “GasBuddy anticipates the national average will continue drifting lower this week.”
A fundraiser on Friday helped raise money for a mid-Missouri family’s effort to get their daughter medical treatment.
Hurts Donut from Springfield, Mo., traveled to Ashland to help the Kroeckel family raise money for their daughter, Harper’s, life-changing medical treatment in Italy.
“After exhausting available treatment options in the United States, the family is now pursuing specialized care that offers new hope for her future,” wrote the Hurts Donut shop in a press release. “Because the treatment, travel expenses and extended medical stays are not covered by insurance, the family is facing more than $85,000 in out-of-pocket costs.”
Harper had been born prematurely at 35 weeks and admitted to the NICU, where a nurse discovered a spot that they assumed to be diaper rash on her bottom. However, further inspection led to her diagnosis of Capillary Malformation-Arteriovenous Malformation, or CM-AVM.
CM-AVM is a genetic mutation at the cellular level that causes blood vessels in certain areas to be tangled, causing swelling, pressure, chronic pain and, in some instances, bleeding. In Harper’s case, it could potentially spread to her spine or brain.
The donut shop set up shop at the Ashland Optimists Club and donated 100% of its Special Tribute donut sales to the Kroeckel family, as well as 10% of the proceeds from its dozen donut sales.
