MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — Since the dedication of Montana’s 9/11 Memorial on September 11, 2011 the monument has been visited by hundreds of people. The memorial stands as testament to Montana’s commitment to remember, reflect, educate and dedicate.
This Thursday, on the anniversary of 9/11, MSU Billings will host its annual remembrance
