Monday is Patriot Day, Did you know?
September 9th, 2006
Patriot Day is Monday and I was wondering how many people really knew about this day? Patriot Day was written into law on December 18, 2001 and is a day of remembrance for those killed in the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001. For me, I didn’t know that this was a set day written into law. While reading a post on The Black Republican I noticed there was a link to this day. Patriot day is not to be confused with Patriots’ Day in Massachusetts. Patriots’ Day is the day the Boston Marathon is run and is a civic holiday. Some things you may want to remember on Patriot Day Monday, September 11, 2006 are;
- All American Flags should be flown at Half-Staff where acceptable.
- Individual Homes should display the American Flag.
- A Moment of Silence should be observed at 8:46am.
Spread the word, and let people know that don’t. I am sure that there are a lot of people that remember the day but don’t know that it is a National Day of Remembrance. More on “What I was doing 5 years Ago” on Monday.
