Um, hello?

P-S, Pam, over here.

Brian, why is it pitch black in here?

Shh, I'm waiting for my glow-in-the-dark plant to sprout while also eating chili dogs.

Glow plants and chili dogs?

Yeah, it's a thing now.

I think we need to start the show.

I'm Pamela Kirkland.

And I'm Ryan Willard.

This is 10 things you need to know.

10.

9, 8, 7, 6. 5, 4, all my chili dogs aside.

Today is an important day.

Yes, it is.

Today is known as Patriot Day, a day that we remember and honor the lives lost during

the events of September 11th, 2001.

Four planes were hijacked that day. Two hit the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.

One hit the Pentagon building in Washington, D.C., and the last crashed in Pennsylvania after the passengers fought back against the hijackers.

In 2002, President George W. Bush proclaimed the first Patriot Day, one year following the attack.

On this day, U.S. flags are flown at half staff and at 8.46 a.m. Eastern Time, marking the moment the first plane struck the World Trade Center.

There's a nationwide moment of silence to reflect, honor, and remember the lives lost,

as well as recognized the bravery of the first responders that day.
