The hijackers then tried to flew three of those planes into two important buildings of the country. The fourth then crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. These hijackings resulted in a huge loss of life and damage, forming the most serious act of terrorism ever on United States soil. Sadly, there were 2, people killed during the attacks. Also, the economy was heavily affected.
Why Patriot Day is important — the harsh consequence of the attacks. Every year since that fateful day, the United States comes together to honor the fallen. People throughout the country commemorate the first responders and those who made difficult decisions. Memorials have risen from the ashes. The attacks have significantly enhanced attention to national security in the United States.
This has played an important role in creating huge implications for United States national and international politics.
Spread the word; knowledge is power! Even before the Declaration of Independence was written, there were the Battles of Lexington and Concord — the true beginning of the American Revolution.
To be sure, this is something that had been brewing for some time. But the Battles of Lexington and Concord marked the first shots fired between Patriots and Tories, beginning what would eventually lead to the independence of the American colonies from the British Empire. While the battles began as a small skirmish, they quickly became a bona fide fight — and a bridge from which the American rebels could not walk back. They had been occupying Boston since , and due to forced quartering as well as increased resistance on the part of the colonists, the tensions between the natives and the occupying army were only growing with time.
Boston was to some degree under the control of General Thomas Gage , military governor of Massachusetts and the commander of a garrison of some 3, British troops stationed in the city. However, outside of the city was a whole other issue. Indeed, it was outside of the city where the rebel sentiment held the most sway. While it is often said that one-third of colonists were Tories, another third Patriots, and another third apathetic, the Patriots held the overwhelming majority of support among Massachusetts colonists outside of Boston.
He had some success in doing this in advance of the Battles of Lexington and Concord in what were known as the Powder Alarms. Still, due to the threat of Indian raids, every town in Massachusetts was required to have a militia. And these militias needed supplies. Disarming all of them seemed unlikely at best.
On April 14, , the order came down from the central authority in London that General Gage was to confiscate the colonial arms. On the morning of April 18, Gage sent a mounted patrol of 20 men to intercept messengers and, perhaps most importantly, to find Samuel Adams and John Hancock. It was their search for the latter two men that tipped off the colonists that something bigger was afoot. The United States suffered heavy casualties in this terrorist attack.
The track killed about people in the United States and caused far more economic and social damage. Every year 11 September, the Patriot day is celebrated in the United States. This day is a memorial day to them. This day terrorist was attacked to the pentagon and World trade center. This is why they will be celebrated the day. It is an observance day in the United States. According to the official declaration, all departments and agencies of the United States are indicated to fly the American flag at half-staff from sunrise until sunset.
Governors of the United States and its territories and the interested organizations and individuals are also encouraged to join in the ritual. Since then, every year it is celebrated this day in the United States as a remembrance of the victims who died in those attacks as well as for those who staked their own lives to save others. Bush, signed Patriot Day into law as a celebratory mourning holiday on December 18, Patriot Day is not a federal holiday, and schools and businesses normally stay open during this day.
These proclamations are given each year and followed by many citizens of the United States. Often parties and celebrations are held on the day, recognizing the importance of the men and women in the armed forces who protect the nation from similar attacks from happening again. The purpose of the day is to act as a release for Americans, in which citizens can express grief at the loss of thousands of innocents at the hands of a few extremists.
Many communities, for example, hold church services in memory of those who lost their lives, while some citizens may visit memorials for those who have passed.
