Lower flags today for memorial
Today is the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The flag will be flown at half-staff at county buildings.
By a joint resolution approved Dec. 18, 2001, Congress designated Sept. 11 of each year as Patriot Day. President Bush issued a proclamation requesting that we observe the day appropriately.
Fly the flag at half-staff in remembrance of those lives lost on this day in 2001, and for the victims’ families.
