Remembering September 11, 2001
On the eighteenth anniversary of Patriot Day, Escondido Charter High School is fortunate to have Captain Russell C. Rang, United States Navy join us for our Patriot Day assemblies on Wednesday, September 11, 2019. Captain Rang will share his thoughts on patriotism, teamwork, loyalty, and share some of his experiences.
On December 18, 2001 President George W. Bush signed a resolution into law designating September 11th as the “National Day of Service and Remembrance.”
"Proclamation — The President is requested to issue each year a proclamation calling on–
- State and local governments and the people of the United States to observe Patriot Day with appropriate programs and activities;
- all departments, agencies, and instrumentalities of the United States and interested organizations and individuals to display the flag of the United States at half-staff on Patriot Day in honor of the individuals who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks against the United States that occurred on September 11, 2001; and
- the people of the United States to observe a moment of silence on Patriot Day in honor of the individuals who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks against the United States that occurred on September 11, 2001.”
