PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — It’s been 22 years since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

People across the country, including right here in Southern New England, will be gathering to honor and remember those who lost their lives that day.

Gov. Dan McKee and Lt. Gov. Sabina Matos ordered all flags at state facilities to remain at half-staff on Monday in honor of the victims.

“On this 22nd anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks, we honor the treasured memories of those lost and the lasting legacy of bravery and heroism shown by everyday Americans who leaped into action to save the lives of strangers. As Rhode Islanders, and as Americans, we remain committed to honoring their memory and standing with them as one,” McKee and Matos said in a joint statement.
