This law names September 11 as Patriot Day. Each year the President is asked to issue a proclamation about it. The proclamation should call for programs, a half-staff flag, and a moment of silence honoring people killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

(a) Designation. This section names September 11 as "Patriot Day." (b) Proclamation. Each year, the President is requested — not required — to issue a proclamation that does three things: (1) It asks state and local governments and the American people to mark Patriot Day with fitting programs and activities. (2) It asks every federal department, agency, and office, along with interested organizations and individuals, to fly the United States flag at half-staff on Patriot Day.
