Patriot Day – September 11, 2024 marks 23 years since the attack on America. Most of us remember where we were when we were attacked. A very sad and trying time. This is a day we remember all of those who lost their lives that day, according to Wikipedia almost 3,000 lost their lives. Let us remember in our prayers all those family that were affected and may still be affected.
Patriot Day & National Day of Service & Remembrance (September 11)
I can remember where I was at that time. I lived in Gaylord, MI working for Star Publications. We had one ladies there came back to my department. She told us. Someone got a tv and plugged it in. Only spot was shelf above my station. Click to read more of that story.
Where we you?
Please feel free to share where you were on that day in the comments below.
About this day
We use to call this day just “Patriot Day” until 2012. In 2012, Patriot Day also became known as “Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance” Patriot Day, announced as a holiday in 2002, almost 1 year after the tragic event by President George W. Bush. This day is not considered a federal holiday. This day is dedicated to the nearly 3000 people that died that day.
The American flag
We are to fly our American flag at half-staff starting at 8:46 a.m., the time of the first plane strike. If you have an American flag flying at your home or business, please be sure to lower it to half-staff.
Doing Good
Many people are planning to do good deeds on this day as a way to pay tribute to all of the nearly 3000 people that lost their life in that tragic event. Take the Boy Scouts Motto “Do a Good Turn Daily” and let’s just not do this on September 11th. Let’s do this as the Scouts say, “DAILY”. Our country has come a long way since these attacks. Almost seems like our country is much more divided today than united.
Prayer
Let’s keep our nation in prayer and the world. Here are two specific prayers ….
We know many men and women lost their lives that day. People working, people on planes and those emergency persons helping and also bystanders helping to assist too.
I pray we can keep our focus on God and stay that way. Our nation in 2017, is still turning our eyes and back from God. A Dangerous place to be. We need to be as a nation turning To Go and moving forward to Him.
A World Transformed: The Enduring Impact of 9/11
The morning of September 11, 2001, marked a turning point in world history. The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon shattered the illusion of invulnerability and forever altered the global landscape. The profound impact of 9/11 continues to reverberate through our lives, shaping our politics, security measures, and cultural attitudes.
Shifts in Global Politics:
- War on Terror: The attacks triggered a global “War on Terror,” leading to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. These conflicts had far-reaching consequences, including the destabilization of entire regions, the rise of extremist groups, and a significant strain on the U.S. military and economy.
- Increased Surveillance: 9/11 led to a significant expansion of government surveillance powers, both domestically and internationally. This has raised concerns about privacy, civil liberties, and the potential for abuse.
- Altered Foreign Policy: The attacks marked a shift in U.S. foreign policy, with a greater emphasis on preemptive strikes and a more assertive stance against perceived threats.
Changes in Domestic Life:
- Heightened Security: Security measures at airports, public buildings, and other critical infrastructure were dramatically increased. While these measures have helped to deter attacks, they have also had a significant impact on our daily lives, including longer wait times and increased inconvenience.
- Economic Impacts: The attacks had a devastating impact on the U.S. economy, leading to job losses, business closures, and a decline in consumer confidence. The financial sector was particularly hard hit, with the collapse of several major financial institutions.
- Social and Cultural Changes: 9/11 had a profound impact on American society and culture. The attacks fostered a sense of national unity and resilience, but they also led to increased xenophobia and discrimination against Muslims and other minority groups.
A Lasting Legacy:
It has now been over Twenty years since the attacks, and the legacy of 9/11 continues to shape our world. The enduring impact of 9/11 serves as a reminder of the fragility of our world and the importance of working together to address global challenges. Most of all turning to God!
Closing
We will remember that day and those who lost their lives that day. Those who also gave their lives for others as well.
As we reflect on this day let us continue to Praise God and make sure we keep God in our Country. Let’s keep our eyes on God and not take our eyes off of God. When we take our eyes off God we see the big issues around us.
As Christian American’s we need to stand up for our rights as Christians and not allow God taken out of our country. It is slowly being removed, with Ten Commandments being taken down, no prayer or Bibles in public schools. This way when tragic happens, we know we can faithfully go to God for help.
Also keeping our eye on God, will allow us to know we have nothing to Fear. Plus, let us also forgive those who caused all this tragedy. We are to forgive others or Christ won’t forgive us. Matthew 6:14-15
