Governor Kate Brown has ordered that flags flying at half-staff at all public institutions throughout Oregon on Sunday September 11th, shall also honor Patriot Day.

Brown said, “Twenty-one years later, September 11 remains a day we shall never forget. “Brown said, “In memory of those we lost, we recommit ourselves to building a just equitable, and peaceful future. I encourage all Oregonians to take a moment to reflect of that day and to honor all those we lost, as well as the brave first responders and volunteers who saved lives”.
