Gov. Rell: Saturday, Sept. 11 is Day of Remembrance; Flags at Half Staff; 8:46 AM Moment of Silence

To mark the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America , Governor M. Jodi Rell is asking state residents to observe a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m. on Saturday, the time the first hijacked airliner crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City nine years ago.  The Governor also directed that U.S. and State of Connecticut flags be flown at half-staff from sunrise through sundown on September 11. ( U.S. and State of Connecticut flags are already at half staff to honor the memory of Connecticut State Police Trooper Kenneth Hall, who was killed September 2 in a motor vehicle accident while on duty.  Trooper Hall's funeral takes place on September 10.)
