Hello everyone and Welcome
Patriot Day in the United States is observed every year on September 11 to honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 people who were killed in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It’s a national day of remembrance, not a federal holiday, meaning businesses and schools generally remain open, but Americans are encouraged to pause and reflect.
Key points about Patriot Day:
Remembrance of 9/11 Victims: It commemorates the lives lost in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania.
Honoring First Responders: It recognizes the bravery and sacrifice of firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and other heroes who responded to the attacks.
Moments of Silence: Many communities observe moments of silence, especially at 8:46 a.m. (ET)—the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Flags at Half-Staff: By presidential proclamation, U.S. flags are flown at half-staff. Americans are also encouraged to display flags at their homes.
Community and Volunteerism: Some people participate in acts of service or charity to honor those lost and to support unity and resilience.
May peace and Gods blessing go with you,
Mel
