9/11 is considered Patriots Day. And although not a federal holiday, the President requests that the American flag be flown at half-staff at individual American homes, at the White House, and on all U.S. government buildings and establishments, home and abroad. The President also asks Americans to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 A.M. (Eastern Daylight Time), the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. He also exhorts Americans to use the Corporation for National and Community Service to find and volunteer for service opportunities.
Most public schools pay tribute on this day with special programs. My school has a very large program planned. Check with the local area schools. They may have something planned.
