While recognizing that there is no shortage of issues that require courage and commitment on behalf of United States citizens, Gregg Favre, a seasoned captain with the St. Louis Fire Department, insists that action through service is the best way to honor the memory of those who lost their lives during the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on American soil. Favre, who received the University of Central Missouri’s Outstanding Recent Alumni Award in 2014, was the keynote speaker for the annual Patriot Day observance Friday, Sept. 11 on the university quadrangle. He spoke to a crowd of more than 200 people, including UCM students, faculty and staff members, and a large number of city and county firefighters and other first responders. An American flag hoisted from a ladder truck parked near the W.C. Morris Science Building contributed to a patriotic backdrop for Favre’s speech.
