SUMMARY:Patriot Day
DESCRIPTION:Patriot Day\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nOn September 11\, 2001\, our nation experienced a heartbreaking tragedy. On this day\, four coordinated terrorist attacks were carried out by al-Qaeda\, an Islamist extremist group.\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nNineteen terrorists from al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes\, deliberately crashing two of the planes into the upper floors of the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center complex and a third plane into the Pentagon in Arlington\, Virginia. The Twin Towers ultimately collapsed because of the damage sustained from the impacts and the resulting fires. After learning about the other attacks\, passengers on the fourth hijacked plane\, Flight 93\, fought back\, and the plane was crashed into an empty field in western Pennsylvania about 20 minutes by air from Washington\, D.C. \nThe attacks killed 2\,977 people from 93 nations: 2\,753 people were killed in New York; 184 people were killed at the Pentagon; and 40 people were killed on Flight 93. The attacks of September 11 will never be forgotten. The victims\, as well as the heroes who responded when called upon\, remain in our hearts and minds forever. \n\n\n\nThe image shown here is of members of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue’s Florida Task Force 1 Urban Search and Rescue Team\, who were present at Ground Zero. In 2011\, they were presented with a piece of a steel beam from the World Trade Center collapse. This\, along with images of MDFR employees working at the World Trade Center after the attacks are on display in the front lobby of MDFR Headquarters at 9300 NW 41 Street. \nImage courtesy of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue

SUMMARY:Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Did you know…Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. made frequent trips to Miami throughout his life\, and even delivered an early version of his famous “I Have a Dream” speech at the Hampton House in 1960? \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n\nOn November 2\, 1983\, President Ronald Reagan signed the King Holiday Bill into law\, designating the third Monday in January a federal holiday in observance of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. The legislation to recognize Martin Luther King Jr. Day was first introduced just four days after his assassination on April 4\, 1968. Still\, it would take 15 years of persistence by civil rights activists for the holiday to be approved by the federal government and an additional 17 years for it to be recognized in all 50 states. Today\, it is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer and improve their communities. \n\n\nIn 1977\, Miami became the first city in the United States to organize a Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day Parade. The parade\, which has been taking place for over 40 years occurs along Martin Luther King\, Jr. Blvd in Liberty City. \n\n\n\nImage: Float representing the city of Opa-Locka parades down Martin Luther King Boulevard on Martin Luther King Jr. Day\, January 19\, 1987.
