PATRIOT DAY
NATIONAL DAY OF SERVICE AND REMEMBRANCE
Patriot Day on September 11th honors the memory of the nearly 3,000 innocent victims who died in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Each year Americans dedicate this day to remembering those who died and the first responders who risked their own lives to save others.
The militant group Al Qaeda hijacked four planes in the United States and crashed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. The coordinated attack killed over 3,000 people.
