00:00.930 --> 00:01.210
and

00:08.510 --> 00:10.830
Patriot Day is the holiday on which we

00:10.830 --> 00:12.719
commemorate those who died in our

00:12.719 --> 00:15.060
country during the terrorist attacks .

00:15.070 --> 00:19.010
On 11 september 2001 , nearly 3000

00:19.010 --> 00:21.370
americans perished when the world trade

00:21.370 --> 00:23.370
center towers came down in new york

00:23.370 --> 00:25.370
city . The pentagon was attacked in

00:25.370 --> 00:27.470
Washington , D . C . And United

00:27.470 --> 00:29.610
Airlines flight 93 came down in the

00:29.610 --> 00:31.890
fields of pennsylvania after the

00:31.890 --> 00:34.380
passengers tried to retake control from

00:34.380 --> 00:37.110
the terrorists on the flight deck . Are

00:37.110 --> 00:38.888
U . S . Congress passed a joint

00:38.888 --> 00:41.930
resolution on 18 december 2001 to

00:41.930 --> 00:45.770
designate 9 11 as Patriot Day .

00:45.860 --> 00:48.370
If you were alive that day , you too

00:48.370 --> 00:51.750
have a story to tell . It's likely that

00:51.760 --> 00:53.482
it's one of those historic and

00:53.482 --> 00:55.593
impactful dates where you remember it

00:55.593 --> 00:57.760
like it was yesterday . Where were you

00:57.760 --> 00:59.740
that day ? How did you learn this

00:59.750 --> 01:02.600
devastating news ? Did you know or have

01:02.600 --> 01:04.600
connection to any of those who lost

01:04.600 --> 01:07.720
their lives that day ? Interestingly ,

01:07.780 --> 01:09.840
a number of our youngest military

01:09.840 --> 01:13.080
members today weren't even born until

01:13.080 --> 01:16.190
2004 . That's why commemorations are so

01:16.190 --> 01:18.412
important . We remember and we tell the

01:18.412 --> 01:20.523
hard stories again . If we don't know

01:20.523 --> 01:23.110
the stories , we can't tell the stories

01:23.550 --> 01:27.090
at 08 46 Eastern Time , pause for a

01:27.090 --> 01:30.070
moment of silence on 9 11 to honor the

01:30.070 --> 01:32.100
dead and reflect on all that has

01:32.100 --> 01:34.810
happened in our blessed land since that

01:34.820 --> 01:36.790
epoch changing day
