September 11 Day of Remembrance Act

Bill 117 HR 5303, also known as the September 11 Day of Remembrance Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to designate September 11th as a national day of remembrance in honor of the victims and heroes of the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001.

The bill calls for the President to issue a proclamation each year to recognize September 11th as a day of remembrance. It also encourages the American people to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, the time when the first plane struck the World Trade Center, and to participate in community service activities to honor the memory of those who lost their lives on that tragic day.

The September 11 Day of Remembrance Act aims to ensure that the events of September 11, 2001 are never forgotten and that the sacrifices made by first responders, civilians, and military personnel are always remembered. This bill has bipartisan support and is seen as a way to pay tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks and to unite the country in remembrance and reflection.
