(Statewide) – Governor Mike Braun has directed flags to be flown at half-staff across the State of Indiana on Thursday, September 11, in observance of Patriot Day.
The Governor’s Office says flags will be lowered at all state facilities from sunrise to sunset in remembrance of the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and in honor of the first responders who acted with courage to save countless lives.
“The attacks of September 11 were an unspeakable tragedy. To the families who lost loved ones, my deepest condolences and most heartfelt prayers are with you,” Braun said. “To all Hoosiers, as we remember the lives taken and the heroes who responded, may we also remember that what carried us through that dark time was not just our faith in our nation, but our faith in each other.”
Gov. Braun encourages all Hoosier businesses and residents to join in lowering their flags to honor the memory of the victims and show respect to the heroes of 9/11.
