(Statewide) – Friday is the  25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Governor Mike Braun has directed flags to be flown at half-staff across the State of Indiana on Friday, 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 9/11 terrorist attacks, and in honor of the first responders who acted with courage to save countless lives.

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.
