The United States flag flies at half-staff Sept. 11, 2017, in observance of Patriot Day and of the terrorist attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. The flag of the United States is flown at half-staff at the White House and on all U.S. government buildings and establishments throughout the world during Patriot Day. Flags are also encouraged to be displayed on individual American homes. Additionally, a moment of silence is observed to correspond with the attacks, beginning at 8:46 a.m., the time the first plane, American Airlines Flight 11, struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Patriot Day is not a federal holiday; schools and businesses remain open in observance of the occasion, although memorial ceremonies for the victims are often held. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
