Patriot Day on September 11, 2022, is commemorated in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States. The memorial day was initiated in 2002 by the then incumbent US President George W. Bush. Authorities and individuals are called to set their national flags at half-mast in memory of the victims of the attacks. In addition, the Americans are to insert a minute’s silence on September 11 at 8:46 clock New York time. At this time, the first hijacked passenger plane exploded in the North Tower of the World Trade Center (WTC).
Aside from the memorial, an underground museum will be opened to the public on Patriot Day . The museum will educate people on the history of 9/11. It’ll hold exhibitions in which visitors will have access to first-person accounts of what happened during the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Patriot Day September 11
The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were four coordinated suicide attacks on key civilian and military buildings in the United States of America. Four airliners were abducted to the assassins on domestic flights. The perpetrators diverted two of them to the towers of the WTC in New York City and one to the Pentagon near Washington, DC. The fourth plane crashed the kidnappers during battles with passengers over the town of Shanksville (PY). The attacks caused the death of some 3,000 people and are considered terrorist mass murder. 17,410 people were evacuated from the WTC buildings in time for their collapse. September 11 is often characterized as a historic break with worldwide consequences.
