In what has become a time-honored and breathtaking tradition, members of the Ward Melville High School Robotics Club and Stage Crew helped to pay tribute to the 18th anniversary of 9/11 by installing large American flags along Old Town Road in East Setauket. 

The display, which runs in front of the campus, includes several dozen flags that stand more than 7 feet tall. The project was overseen by Robotics and Stage Crew advisers Steve Rogers, Mark Suesser and John Williams and was first implemented several years ago to help all who pass by remember and reflect on the historic day.
