Guest column: Remember freedoms on Patriot Day
On Dec. 18, 2001, Congress passed Public Law No. 107-89 designating Sept. 11 as “Patriot Day.” The American Legion Auxiliary, Unit 28, received some suggestions from its national leadership on celebrating Patriot Day and ALA Unit 28 coordinated its first ceremony for this occasion on Sept. 11, 2002. With the help of some Legionnaires of Post 28, we’ve strived every year since to ensure we honor those who sacrifice for us. We owe these heroes, not just those who gave of themselves on Sept. 11, 2001, but those who’ve given throughout our history and those still giving today, a vow never to forget their sacrifices.
