"Patriot Day 2025 September" refers to the annual observance in the United States on September 11th to commemorate the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Designated by Congress as a national day of remembrance, its primary function is to honor those who perished, the first responders, and all who were affected by the events of that day, fostering a collective memory of a pivotal moment in national history.
Established by Public Law 107-89 on December 18, 2001, Patriot Day calls for the display of the American flag at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on all government buildings and individual homes. Furthermore, a moment of silence is customarily observed at 8:46 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, marking the precise moment the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center. While it is not a federal holiday resulting in a day off from work, it serves as a solemn occasion for reflection, remembrance, and the reaffirmation of national resilience and unity. In 2025, September 11th will fall on a Thursday.
This annual observance reinforces the nation's commitment to remembering profound loss and significant acts of heroism, providing an opportunity for individuals and communities to reflect on the ongoing impact of terrorism and to reaffirm core societal values. It is a day dedicated to supporting the families of victims, honoring the sacrifices of first responders, and fostering a sense of national solidarity in the face of adversity.
