PresidentialProclamation -- Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance, 2012 
“On September 11, 2001, a bright autumn day was darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our history. Thousands of innocent men, women, and children perished when mighty towers collapsed in the heart of New York City and wreckage burned in Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon. They were family and friends, service members and first responders -- and the tragedy of their loss left pain that will never fade and scars our country will never forget.”

Missoulian:  Smoke expected to settle back into Missoula area 

Today’s Air 

“Health effect categories are based on 24-hour average particulate levels. DEQ has adapted these categories to shorter time periods to provide more immediate advice. The health effects category ratings for the 1-hour, 8-hour, and 24-hour time periods may be different because prolonged exposure to elevated air pollution can worsen health impacts. DEQ recommends consideration of exposure time when planning outdoor activities during periods of elevated air pollution.”
