Patriot Day, observed annually on September 11, is a day of remembrance and reflection in the United States. It was established to honor the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. This solemn day also pays tribute to the courage of the first responders, the resilience of the survivors, and the unity of a nation in the face of an unprecedented tragedy.
