President Bush has declared Sept. 11, starting this year, as Patriot Day, a day on which the U.S. flag will be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset. Bush encourages Americans to display their flags at half-staff from their homes too, and to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. or another appropriate commemorative time to honor the victims who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Gov. Angus King also directed that the Maine flag be flown at half-staff.
