BATAVIA – For the fourth year there is a display of 2,977 American flags at the Batavia VA Medical Center in honor of the victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in 2001.

The VA had a memorial service today at 11 a.m.

Volunteers set up the flags on Sunday and they are in a display representing the two World Trade Center towers that collapsed after being struck by hijacked planes.

A group of about 30 volunteers placed the flags in the ground on Sunday. The flags will stay up until Saturday. Cindy Baker of Medina heads the volunteer services at the VA in Batavia.
