We honor the lives we lost 23 years ago today. We're forever grateful for the bravery of the flight crews, firefighters, police officers, EMTs, DOT employees, transportation workers, and other first responders who stepped up to help each other in the face of terrorism.

Heartbroken for the MSU community. We are united in our mourning and grief. We will not become complacent or accept that this kind of violence and terror is something we must live with. 1/3

Today, flags at GVSU are flying at half-staff to honor the victims of the shooting at Oxford High School in Oakland County one year ago. Hana St. Juliana, Tate Myre, Madisyn Baldwin and Justin Shilling will not be forgotten. #OxfordStrong

Replying to @GovWhitmer
@GovWhitmer @LtGovGilchrist Wait, there’s another undefeated team in Michigan besides @gvsufootball? Are they also ranked No. 1 in the nation? Didn’t think so. #AnchorUp ⚓️⬆️
