Patriot Day -
September 11
 In
2001, Congress passed a bill authorizing
the president to declare September 11 as
Patriot Day, a national day of remembrance to be
observed every year on the anniversary date
of the terrorist events that occurred in
the US on 9-11-2001.
In his proclamation of Patriot Day in 2003,
President Bush called upon all citizens
to commemorate September 11 each year with
solemn ceremonies and and personal reflection
in memory of the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks in the United States that killed
thousands of innocent people and changed
the lives of thousands more forever.
American flags fly at half staff on September
11 in remembrance and honor of those who
perished or were injured in New
York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
Communities, families and organizations
pay their respect to the victims of September
11 with solemn ceremonies, candle vigils,
readings, services and songs of remembrance
and faith on the anniversary date. |

All
the passengers and crew members of the four jets,
plus hundreds more people who were in the
buildings struck by hijacked airliners on September
11, 2001 died horribly or were injured as the
world watched and listened in shock and pain.
Many who perished were helping the victims. The
twin light beams that symbolize the fallen towers
of the world trade center
are like beacons sending a message to the stars
of the fallen.

9/11 - A Day for REMEMBRANCE and REFLECTION
On September 11 (Patriot Day) each year, take some time to
remember those who died in the terrorist attacks
and honor their sacrifice.
If you can manage it,
try to visit a memorial site to reflect and say
a prayer for the victims and their loved ones
and friends.
Remember those heroic passengers
on Flight 93 who fought back and prevented the
hijackers from completing their deadly mission
to crash their plane into yet another building
(presumed to be in the Capitol).
 Bless and thank the brave souls who helped or
died during the search and rescue efforts.
Lastly,
thank God for the men and women who continue to
protect and defend freedom throughout the world
- they are heroes, one and all.
