Patriot Day – 911 Remebrance

Patriot Day honors those who were injured or died during the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001.

By designation of the President, the flag of the United States of America should be  flown at half-mast as a sign of respect.

Traditionally the President asks the Americans to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. (EDT).

This marks the time the first plane flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
