Kentucky Honors 911 Victims with Flags at Half-Staff | Lexington News

Governor Andy Beshear is ordering all Kentucky state office buildings to fly flags at half-staff Friday, September 11, honoring the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the nearly 3,000 lives lost. This solemn day, known as Patriot Day since 2001, commemorates the tragedies at the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Shanksville. The governor urges Kentuckians — from businesses to individuals — to join in by lowering their own flags. Nationally, a memorial ceremony will feature family members reading victims’ names and seven moments of silence to honor those lost that day and those who’ve since died from related illnesses.
