Florida will fly its flags at half-mast on September 11 to commemorate the dead

Twenty-three years have passed since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. The United States remains united in remembering the 2,977 people who lost their lives, including the brave first responders, law enforcement officers, and military personnel who selflessly responded to the attacks.

Florida Governor DeSantis has ordered flags across Florida to fly at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, as a sign of respect and remembrance for all who lost their lives that day.
