Patriot Day 9.11

Patriot Day 9.11

On Sept. 11, 2001, four commercial airplanes were hijacked and sent to various targets in the United States. Two planes crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane crashed into the U.S. Pentagon Building near Washington, D.C. and a fourth plane was intercepted from the hijackers and crash-landed in rural Pennsylvania. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, President George W. Bush declared Friday, Sept. 14, 2001 as a National Day of Prayer and Remembrance for the Victims of the terrorist attacks. But many people felt there should be an annual event dedicated to preserving the memory of the victims and the heroism of the first responders. A bill to make September 11 a national day of mourning was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on Oct. 25, 2001. The bill passed the Senate unanimously. On Sept. 11, 2002, the country recognized the first Patriot Day. On this day, the U.S. flag is flown at half-mast. In addition, a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 a.m. is observed to correspond with the attacks. While not a federal holiday - schools and businesses remain open - memorial ceremonies are held for the 2,977 victims, including an annual reading of names of the people who lost their lives. 09/10/2024 11:00 PM

Bird Feeders: Helpful or Harmful?

Bird Feeders: Helpful or Harmful?

Bird feeders can allow homeowners to enjoy wildlife in their backyard, but may also attract predators and wildlife, such as raccoons and deer. Bird feeders are a great way to enjoy nature without leaving your front porch, and many homeowners understand the joys of seeing multiple bird species frequent the feeders. However, actions all have some sort of reactions. Some are positive and some can be negative. 09/03/2024 04:00 AM
