Patriot Day, holiday observed in the United States on September 11 to commemorate the lives of those who died in the 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Virginia and those who perished when the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania. The holiday also recognizes those who died attempting to rescue people trapped by the attacks.
By a joint resolution of the U.S. Congress on Dec. 18, 2001, September 11 was designated as Patriot Day. The resolution calls for the president of the United States to issue a yearly proclamation requesting that all U.S. flags be flown at half-staff. Further, Americans are asked to honor the dead with a moment of silence beginning at 8:46 AM, Eastern Standard Time, the time that the first airplane struck the World Trade Center, and to respect the ceremonies of remembrance when they are conducted. Prior to passage of the resolution, several other names had been proposed for the day, such as the National Day of Remembrance and the National Day of Prayer and Remembrance.
POW/MIA Recognition Day is commemorated on the third Friday of every September, a date that's not associated with any particular war. Resolutions making it official were passed in 1979 by Congress and the president after the families of the more than 2,500 Vietnam War POW/MIAs pushed for full accountability.

Unfortunately it. continues to be a hard year for a lot of of us due to the loss of some great brothers. Chapter 100 was chartered in 2013 in honor of our fallen brothers, this year on Sept 14th we will be having Chapter 100's first Annual celebrating its 10th yr and Tree Tagging event.
We will once again be hanging dog tags and raising a glass for each of our brothers lost this past year on trees that are used to make the wreaths for Wreaths Across America. If you haven't been to our annual Tree Tagging or are on the fence about the event, talk to those that have been there, I'm sure they'll convince you that you need to come up.
Chapter 100 first ever annual will be held in Columbia Falls, ME in conjunction with tree tagging and Maine States Annual on 16 Sept.
As most of those that have been up to tree tagging know, Worcester Wreath has built about 50 cabin on the land that the trees are on. They have blocked all cabins for us, and given us a 33% discount on all cabins. Cabins range from a single king to bunk houses which will accommodate 6-8 brothers.
Flagpole View cabins website is: https://www.flagpoleviewcabins.com/ , use code "USMVMC" for the discount. All cabins feature microwave and mini fridge.
Cabin type are:
King Cabin - 1 King bed $114 plus tax
King Plus Cabin - 1 King Bed, 1 pull out, $127 plus tax
Deluxe Cabin - 2 queen beds, 1 pull out, $133 plus tax
Loft Cabins - 3 queen beds, 1 pull out, $154 plus tax
In years past we've averaged about 20-30 brothers (mainly from the northeast) each year (see attachment). It would be great to see at least representation from every chapter that has lost a brother this past year.
Event schedule will be as in the past with a few exceptions since we will all be at one location.
Wednesday 13 Sept - Meet and greet at large fire pit area at cabins
Thursday 14 Sept - Breakfast at on site restaurant, ride to WAA museum for tour, ride to tip land, tag trees, annual to follow (Large fire pit area at cabins)
(suggested)
Friday 15 Sept - Breakfast Helens (local restaurant), depart for Maine States Annual
There's over 50 cabins at this site, my hope is that we fill this place and let Maine and the Northeast know who US Military Vets are and show Worcester Wreath and Wreaths Across America what our fallen brothers mean to us.
What annual could be more memorable than an annual to Remember and Honor our fallen brothers of the Chapter 100!!!

On 16 September we will be doing a memorial ride for Brother Tripod. One of his wishes was to have a ride and have his ashes spread during the ride so he can be in the wind one last time. We will be linking up at the Vine Grove VFW Post 10281 located at
299 Briggs Ln Vine Grove, KY 40175. We will link up at 0800 EST for breakfast and will be KSU at
1000 EST. This ride will be open to all Brothers, friends and family. The plan is to take a ride to Nada Tunnel about 161 miles from the VFW and let his ashes fly. From there we will return to the VFW for those wishing to hang around and enjoy some Brotherhood.
