Tomorrow, most often called "9/11", is also known as and officially proclaimed by our government as "Patriot Day." This term and day is often confused with "Patriots' Day," which celebrates the start of the American Revoluntionary War on April 19, 1775, with the Battles of Lexington and Concord.
"Patriot Day" was created when a Congressional bill, designating September 11 as a national day of mourning, became Public Law 107-89 on December 18, 2001.
