The Paint Creek Joint EMS and Fire District flies the American flag over North High Street in Hillsboro on Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016, the 15-year anniversary of the Islamist terrorist attacks that killed more than 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001.
Ohio Governor John R. Kasich has ordered that all flags throughout the state of Ohio be flown at half-staff from sunrise until sunset on Patriot Day, Sunday, Sept. 11, 2016, in honor of the lives lost in the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001.
On Sept. 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks against multiple targets in the U.S.
Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania.
Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, triggering major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush. More than 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than 400 police officers and firefighters.
