A Day to Honor the Innocent

Wednesday, September 11, 2002

September 11th was declared Patriot Day by President Bush to commemorate the terrorist attacks of a year ago. The day will be marked by many solemn events throughout the nation. Governor Pataki has asked that all United States Flags and New York State flags at schools and municipal buildings be lowered to half staff at 8:46 a.m. as a remembrance in honor of those who perished in the World Trade Center attacks. Flags should remain at half staff for the remainder of the day.

"We will never forget how the tragedy of the terrorist attacks on September 11th changed our lives," said Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno. "This is a day for remembrance as well as a day to show our patriotism and courage in memory of the great heroes who lost their lives on that tragic day."

Senator Bruno will be in Manhattan to participate in the reading of the names of victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center. The program begins at 8:46 a.m.
