Patriot Day
The anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. In New York, they read the names of the 2,977 victims at Ground Zero. It takes over three hours. In Shanksville, Pennsylvania, they read the names of the 40 passengers and crew of Flight 93. At the Pentagon, they read the names of the 184 victims. Every fire station in America flies the flag at half-staff. Every American who was alive that day remembers where they were.
