Gov. Mike DeWine ordered all U.S. and Ohio flags be lowered to half-staff in honor of the victims of terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

Flags should be flown at half-staff at all public buildings and grounds throughout the state on Patriot Day.

DeWine also asked Ohioans to observe a moment of silence Saturday at 8:46 a.m., the time that American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
