Patriot Day

All Americans should spend a silent moment of proud remembrance for all the fallen and wounded brave U.S. troops involved in the War On Terrorism ... with special thoughts for the last 13 and 18 severely wounded ... who were among the 100+ killed and many more wounded in Afghanistan when a terrorist detonated a bomb concealed on him August 26, 2021 ... a few days before the remaining U.S. troops left Afghanistan ... ending 20 years of combat activities associated with the war on terrorism in Afghanistan." David Bancroft, USA Patriotism! founder

National Holiday Congressional Joint Resolution Signed By President

By a joint resolution approved December 18, 2001 (Public Law 107-89), the Congress has designated September 11 of each year as "Patriot Day" ... in honor of those who perished in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

In addition, the President calls upon all Americans to display the flag at half-staff from their homes on that day and to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 a.m. eastern daylight time to honor the innocent victims who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
