Collette Rhoads was just 3 years old when the 9/11 attacks took place in 2001. But the George Mason University junior said she recalls being in a car with her mom in their hometown of Garrettsville, Ohio.
Her mom, she said, was crying.
It is that memory, and what she has subsequently learned about the attacks, that made her participation in Mason’s sixth annual 9/11 Day of Service so important.
