Every September 11, we pause. We remember. We honor the near 3,000 lives taken in the attacks of 2001—those who perished at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and on Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. Patriot Day, formally established by Congress via Public Law 107-89 on December 18, 2001, serves as a National Day of Service and Remembrance.
This day is not a federal holiday—the schools and businesses are open—but flags are flown at half-staff at the White House and all U.S. government buildings, and Americans are encouraged to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. (Eastern Time), the moment the first hijacked plane struck the North Tower.
