Patriot Day 2014

Patriot Day occurs on September 11 of each year, designated in memory of the 2,977 killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. In 2009 the full name of this day was designated as
Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance.

By presidential decree, the American flag is flown at half-staff at the White House and on all U.S. government buildings and establishments throughout the world; American flags are also encouraged to be displayed on individual American homes. Additionally, often a moment of silence is observed to correspond with the attacks, beginning at 8:46 A.M. (Eastern Daylight Time), the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

Because Patriot Day is not a federal holiday, schools and business do not close in observance of the occasion, although many memorial ceremonies for the victims are held.
