Flags at government buildings in St. Lawrence County ordered to fly at half-staff in remembrance of Sept. 11 terrorist attacks

Posted

Flags on state government buildings in St. Lawrence County and throughout the state have been ordered flown at half-staff today in remembrance the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued the order in memory of the nearly 3,000 men, women and children who lost their lives in the attack.

"With the 14th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks upon us, we pause to remember the nearly 3,000 individuals who were taken far too early. They were mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, employees who just began their day and first responders who put their own well-being aside to aid complete strangers.

"As we observe their memory, I would also ask New Yorkers to remember the bravery and sacrifice of the members of the U.S. Armed Forces, who put their safety at risk day in and day out to preserve the freedoms and ideals that this state and nation were founded upon."
