About this countdown
This countdown targets Patriot Day on Saturday, September 11, 2027, set by the rule: September 11. It runs on your device's clock and counts to midnight at the start of the day.
Patriot Day is an observance rather than a public holiday, so offices, banks and schools keep their normal hours. Nobody gets a paid day off for it, though plenty of people mark it anyway. Patriot Day, September 11, is a national observance honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist atacks. Flags fly at half-staff and a moment of silence is observed, but it is not a public holiday — businesses, schools and government stay open.
