Flags Ordered to be Flown at Half Staff on Sept. 11

By Connect-Bridgeport Staff on September 10, 2024

In recognition of Patriot Day, Gov. Jim Justice has issued a proclamation ordering all United States and West Virginia flags at state-owned facilities to be displayed at half-staff from dawn to dusk, Wednesday, September 11, 2024. 
 
“It's hard to believe that 23 years have passed since the tragedy of September 11,” Gov. Justice said. “But all these years later, we show that our country has never forgotten. We will forever honor the truly extraordinary courage of the first responders who ran toward the fire when our nation was under attack. In those moments of chaos, they defined true heroism by risking everything to save others. Their sacrifice is beyond words, and we owe them a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. On this anniversary, Cathy and I ask all West Virginians to join us in remembering those we lost and keeping their families and loved ones in our prayers.”
 
Patriot Day is the national acknowledgment that honors the memory of the Americans lost on September 11, 2001, and pays tribute to all of the patriots who have sacrificed their lives in the defense of our freedom.
