September 11th
A National Day of Service and Remembrance
Join us on Saturday, September 12th as we honor the nearly 3,000 lives lost in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, as well as the countless first responders and service members who answered the call. In partnership with the National Cemetery Administration, volunteer at National Cemeteries, VA Grant funded Cemeteries, or at a local cemetery across the nation.
Patriot Day is not just a day of remembrance.
It's a day of service — honoring their sacrifice through action.
