From the Office of Governor Abigail Spanberger, flags of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Virginia be flown at half-staff on all state and local buildings and

grounds in the Commonwealth of Virginia in memory and respect of the nearly 3,000 innocent people killed in the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001. I join Virginians in honoring Patriot Day and remembering our fellow Americans who never returned home that day, the families who continue to carry the burden of that loss, and the profound stories of courage and heroism that emerged in the face of unimaginable tragedy. We honor the firefighters, police officers, and first responders who rushed toward danger at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the heroic passengers and flight attendants aboard Flight 93 who prevented another attack, and the countless Americans who came together, comforted strangers, and answered the call to serve our nation and fight terrorism.
