Patriot Day, September 11, marks the 8th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in the USA in 2001.
A presidential proclamation issued in 2007 proclaims:
. . . the people of the United States [are] to observe Patriot Day with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and remembrance services, to display the flag at half-staff from their homes on that day, and to observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 A.M. eastern daylight time to honor the innocent Americans and people from around the world who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
As a part of Project 2,996, my daughter Isabel and I payed tribute to two men who were lost in the attack on the World Trade Center Towers:
Hasmukhrai Chuckulal Parmar and Steven Paul Chucknick
The reach of that morning, eight years ago, continues to affect our vision, perception and understanding of the world. Its impact continues to be felt in our mind, heart and soul. Please pray for all who were lost/injured on that day and for their families, along with those currently serving in the U.S. armed forces.
