Patriot Day 21st Anniversary We will never forget

 

September 8, 2022



Patriot Day falls on Sept. 11 (commonly known as “nine-eleven) and is remembered globally as the anniversary of the catastrophic terrorist attacks on the USA of Sept. 11, 2001.

In the wake of the world trade center collisions, many brave men and women from the emergency services risked their lives to try to help rescue victims of the attacks, and of them 411 lost their own lives. A total of 2,977 deaths were reported because of the attacks.

Patriot Day is recognized by U.S. Law as the official day of remembrance for the tragic events that happened that day and has been observed every year since. Each year on this day, American flags are flown at half-staff to honor and commemorate those lives lost from sunrise to sunset.

Americans are asked to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m, (eastern daylight time), the time of the first plane collision into the north tower of the World Trade Center.
