ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - The U.S. Naval Academy is holding events in remembrance of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Midshipmen are holding the events on Thursday with the academy's community service organization, which is called the Midshipman Action Group.
They will be holding a 9/11 run, in which relays in small groups will run the entire day while carrying the American flag from sunrise until sunset. Every half hour the flag will be handed to the next group.
