September 11 Day of Remembrance Act

Bill 118 HR 2382, also known as the September 11 Day of Remembrance Act, was introduced in the US Congress to designate September 11th as a National Day of Remembrance. The bill aims to honor and remember the victims of the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001.

The legislation calls for the President to issue a proclamation each year to recognize September 11th as a day of remembrance. It also encourages Americans to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 am Eastern Daylight Time, the time when the first plane struck the World Trade Center.

Additionally, the bill encourages schools and other educational institutions to educate students about the events of September 11th and the importance of honoring the memory of those who lost their lives. It also calls for flags to be flown at half-staff on September 11th in honor of the victims. Overall, the September 11 Day of Remembrance Act seeks to ensure that the memory of the tragic events of September 11th is preserved and that future generations understand the significance of that day in American history.
