Effingham, IL-(Effingham Radio)- Today is Patriot Day, marking the 22nd Anniversary of the September 11th, 2001 Terrorist attacks.
The United States Flag is flown at half-staff at the White House and all U.S. Government buildings and establishments throughout the world. Americans are encouraged to display flags in and around their homes. Additionally, a Moment of Silence was observed to correspond with the attacks, beginning at 7:46 am—which was the time when the first plane, American Airlines Flight 11, struck the north tower of the World Trade Center.
Nearly 3,000 people were killed and additional 6,000 were injured in the terrorist attacks on 9/11/01 in New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania–making it the deadliest terrorist attack in human history.
