Lindsey students plant flags to remember victims of 9/11 By Duane Bonifer Cody Shepherd '27 was born more than three years after 2,977 people died in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Shepherd joined nearly a dozen of his Lindsey Wilson University classmates on September 10 to make sure that no one on campus forgets that tragedy on September 11, 2025. The LWU students -- all of whom were born after 2001 -- spent about an hour Wednesday evening planting nearly 2,000 American flags around the center of the Lindsey Wilson A.P.
