Today marks the ninth anniversary of terrorist attacks on American soil. Patriot Day occurs on September 11th of each year, designated in memory of the 2,993 casualties in the September 11, 2001 attacks.
On this day, the President directs that the American flag be flown at half-staff at individual American homes, at the White House, and on all U.S. government buildings and establishments, home and abroad. The President also asks Americans to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time), the time of the first plane crash on September 11, 2001.
