Please join the students of ACA to pray for and honor those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001 attack, to honor the response of the brave law enforcement, firefighters and rescue personnel who responded on that day to the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and to the field in Pennsylvania. We invite members of our community who also willingly risk their lives to save others. We honor the military for their many sacrifices.
