Patriot Day remembers the people who died in the September 11, 2001 attacks. Federal observance law requests half-staff display on this day. Review the current official proclamation and applicable state directions for scope and timing.
A Day of Remembrance
Use respectful, factual language when explaining the observance or sharing a notice. A commemorative image should include its year and relevant dates so it is not mistaken for a separate current emergency.
Check the Display Instruction
