Cicilline orders flags lowered in recognition of 9/11

PROVIDENCE -- Mayor David N. Cicilline has ordered flags on city buildings lowered to half staff to honor those who died five years ago in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the United States.

He has also signed a proclamation designating today, the fifth anniversary of the attack, as Patriots Day, in accordance with a White House executive order, according to a press release.

"Today is a day for our nation to come together, unified in our mourning and in our resolve to protect and preserve the ideals and values upon which the nation was founded," Cicilline said in a statement.
