The term "Patriot Day" functions as a proper noun. In 2025, Patriot Day will be observed on Thursday, September 11.
Patriot Day is a fixed-date observance in the United States, established by law to occur annually on September 11. This date was chosen to commemorate the anniversary of the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. Unlike federal holidays such as Memorial Day or Labor Day, which are observed on a specific Monday of a month, Patriot Day is consistently held on the exact date of the event it honors, regardless of the day of the week.
Consequently, to determine the date of Patriot Day for any year, one simply identifies September 11 on the calendar for that specific year. For 2025, this date falls on a Thursday. This fixed nature ensures that the focus of the observance remains directly tied to the historical significance of the calendar day itself.
