911 Memorial Flags: Honoring the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 (2026)
September 11, 2026 marks a solemn milestone — 25 years since the attacks that took nearly 3,000 lives and changed our nation forever. A quarter century on, the way we honor that day endures: with reverence, with gratitude for those who ran toward danger, and with the flag raised in their memory.
Quick Answer: On September 11, Americans honor the victims and heroes of 9/11 by flying the U.S. flag at half-staff from sunrise to sunset, observing a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., and displaying "We Will Never Forget" memorial flags. In 2026, Patriot Day marks the 25th anniversary of the attacks.
A 911 memorial flag is one of the simplest and most heartfelt ways to keep that promise visible — a quiet tribute that tells your neighbors and community that these lives, and this sacrifice, still matter. Below you'll find new commemorative flags created for the 25th anniversary, tributes to our first responders, and guidance on honoring Patriot Day with dignity.
Why We Still Say "We Will Never Forget"
For those who lived through that morning, the memory needs no explanation. But remembrance is a promise we renew each year — for the office workers and the passengers, for the firefighters who climbed the stairs as others came down, and for the families who never stopped grieving. Twenty-five years later, displaying a memorial flag is how many Americans pass that promise to the next generation.
How to Fly Your Flag at Half-Staff on 9/11
On Patriot Day, the U.S. flag is flown at half-staff to honor those who died. Here is the proper way to do it:
- Raise it to the peak first. Briskly hoist the flag to the top of the pole for a moment.
- Lower it to half-staff. Bring it slowly to the halfway point of the pole.
- Sunrise to sunset. Keep it at half-staff throughout September 11.
- Lower with honor. At day's end, raise it briefly to the peak again before taking it down.
For fixed house-mounted poles that can't be lowered, a black mourning ribbon at the top is a respectful alternative. See our 2026 Half-Staff Alert calendar for every half-staff day this year, and our American Flag Etiquette Guide for complete display rules.
