ST. JOSEPH, Mich. -- The St. Joseph High School football stadium is the site for the third annual 9/11 Hero Climb that honors the first responders who showed up to Ground Zero on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
Over 200 people signed up and started running the stairs at the St. Jospeh High School football stadium at 8:46 a.m., the exact moment the first of the hijacked planes hit the World Trade Center Tower in New York.
Participants will take a total of 2,071 steps, representing the number of steps many first responders walked up to get to victims of the terrorist attacks.
Also, on Wednesday, Governor Eric J. Holcomb is directing flags at state facilities across Indiana and those should be flown at half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
Governor Holcomb also asks businesses and residents statewide to lower their flags to half-staff in remembrance of the victims of the terror attacks on September 11, 2001.
The U.S. House of Representatives made Patriot Day an official day of mourning when they passed a resolution on Oct. 25, 2001.
The first observed Patriot Day was the following year, Sept. 11, 2002.
