SEP 11, 24 .. NINE ELEVEN.. 9 / 11.. SEPTEMBER 11, 2001..
Interesting!
NATIONAL DAY CALENDAR.. Is the source of all of the information on our “Days”.
National Today.. Is “Calling 911 Day” PATRIOT DAY.. This is the first time I have seen 911 Day called PATRIOT DAY.
Then we read that, exactly a year after the attack, on September 11, 2002, President Bush announces the first Patriot Day.
Then we find that on September 11, 2016, President Obama announces September 11 as National Day of Service and Remembrance.
In 2017, President Donald Trump declares September 8–10 as National Days of Prayer and Remembrance and proclaims September 11 as Patriot Day.
Now I wonder.. “Just where have I been not knowing 9/11 is PATRIOT DAY?”
Let’s read on for a second or two.
On September 11, Patriot Day gives all of us time to reflect on the devastating terror attacks that took nearly 3,000 lives. We commemorate those who we lost and give thanks to the brave first responders who put their lives on the line. Take a moment today to consider what we stand for as a nation and how we can work together to make the world a better place for all.
Every year since the tragic day of September 11, 2001, all American citizens come together to remember and honor the fallen. Fighting valiantly till the end, their lives and stories are forever memorialized and illuminate this dark day in history.
Moments of silences are observed several times during the day. The timings correspond with the terrorist attacks, with the first one starting at 8:46 A.M. EDT and the last one at 10:28 A.M EDT. Patriot Day is a difficult day for many, with some solace found in the memorial tributes to those who lost their lives, and through support groups dedicated to spreading kindness and comfort to families today. Memorial events and prayer vigils are participated in across the country.
Today, reflecting and remembering the events that took place in 2001 reminds people of the sensitivity of time and the importance of standing united as a nation.
2977.. the number of innocent lives lost on 9/11.
343.. the number of lives lost on 9/11 who were New York City firefighters.
23.. the number of lives lost on 9/11 who were NYPD officers.
37.. the number of lives lost on 9/11 who were police officers from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
19.. the number of terrorists who hijacked the planes on 9/11.
60%.. the percentage of victims of the 9/11 attacks whose remains have been identified.
3:1.. the ratio of men to women who died.
184.. the number of people killed when American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon.
Patti and I sincerely hope that each of you will take at least one-moment-of-silence to think about 9 / 11.
Thank You So Very Much!
