Gov. John Hickenlooper today ordered flags to be lowered to half-staff on all public buildings statewide on Tuesday, Sept. 11 in honor of those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001. This also is in recognition of Patriot Day, which was designated by Congress in 2001.
The White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs notified us today and stated that, “By a joint resolution approved 12/18/2001, (Public Law 107-89) has designated September 11th of each year as “Patriot Day” which also directs the flags be lowered to half-staff for the entire day on September 11th.”
