WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) and Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1) introduced the bipartisan Patriot Day Act to designate September 11th as a federal holiday known as Patriot Day.

“Our nation suffered immense loss on 9/11, but in the face of great evil, Americans of all walks of life came together to support each other — especially in North Jersey, where we will always live in the shadows of those attacks. By formally recognizing 9/11 as Patriot Day, we will make sure that we always honor the memory of those who lost their lives that day — and never give up our fight against terror,” said Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5).

“September 11, 2001 was a dark day in our nation’s history, but in even in the face of a devastating attack on our homeland, the American spirit proved resilient,” said Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1). “I am proud to lead bipartisan legislation to recognize those who lost their lives on that day. We must never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice.”
