9/11/24 @ 9:00 a.m. - 23 years ago today, 2,977 innocent lives were lost in the worst terrorist attack on our Country. Today, we would like to express gratitude for our military, law enforcement officers, firefighters, first responders, and other emergency personnel for the selfless courage they demonstrated in the face of terror while defending our Nation's freedoms.

On December 18, 2001, Congress designated September 11 of each year as Patriot Day and on April 21, 2009, Congress requested the observance of September 11 as an annually recognized National Day of Service and Remembrance. As such, flags will be flown at half-staff until sunset tonight. September 11 will always serve as a reminder of tremendous strength, unity and resilience of our great nation.

Flags are being flown at half-staff in honor of Florida's former Governor, Bob Graham, who passed away on April 16, 2024 at the age of 87. 

A memo from Governor DeSantis stated, "A graduate of the University of Florida and Harvard Law School, Governor Graham began his career in public service in 1966 when he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives. He served two terms in the Florida House, and two terms in the Florida Senate, before becoming Governor in 1978. Governor Graham served two terms as Governor before his election to the United States Senate, where he served for 18 years until retiring from public life in 2005.

As Governor, Governor Graham championed economic advancement and public education, especially teaching civics to Florida’s children, and made historic achievements in conserving Florida’s natural resources. In retirement, Governor Graham published regularly on state and national issues while founding the Bob Graham Center for Public Service at the University of Florida to train future political leaders."

Flags will be flown at half-staff beginning today through sunset on the day of internment.
