DeWine orders flags lowered to half staff for Patriot Day

COLUMBUS — Governor Mike DeWine has ordered that flags in Ohio be flown at half-staff in honor of Patriot Day, Sept. 11.

The order is to be in effect from sunrise to sunset on Sunday, September 11 on all public buildings and grounds throughout the state.

DeWine is also asking that all Ohioans observe a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 a.m. on Sept. 11, which is the time that hijacked American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001.
