Sep. 11th, 2001 – Remembering 9/11
TODAY WE REMEMBER THE 2,977 PEOPLE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES IN THE 2001 ATTACKS BY OBSERVING PATRIOT DAY. WHILE THIS IS NOT A FEDERAL HOLIDAY, U.S. FLAGS AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND ALL GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS AND ESTABLISHMENTS WILL BE FLOWN AT HALF-STAFF, AND INDIVIDUALS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DISPLAY THE FLAG ON THEIR HOMES. THE NATION WILL ALSO OBSERVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE AT 8:46AM EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME TO CORRESPOND WITH THE BEGINNING OF THE ATTACKS.
