well...we do remember the people who passed on that day. for the past 2 years since the tragedy...the country has honored them in a moment of silence.

but i dont think we should close down businesses and make it a national holiday. that would be like awarding the terrorists their accomplishment.

Chicago????? Everything I've ever read said that plane was going to DC?



Anyway, as much as that is a tough day for me (I lost over ten friends/family of friends that day), I hope it never becomes a holiday. Not because I think its wrong to celebrate the day terrorists attacked us....I just think its pathetic the way meaningful holidays are treated in this country. What do we do on Memorial Day? No, we don't take the day to remember all of the thousands of brave men who have given the ultimate sacrifice for us and our country.....no....we spend the day either shopping or at the beach. What about Veteran's Day? Again...we go shopping. Holidays in our society are just an excuse for corprate America to have a sale. It sickens me. Because of that, I hope 09/11 never becomes a holiday. I don't want it to become commercialized like we make everything else. I don't want it to lose all of its meaning. The meaning of that day must be something that we never forget.

if you dont recall a plan did reach DC. it went into the pentagon. that plane was in pennyslvania heading west. you do the math.

we go shopping or to the beach to celebrate being ABLE to because of the sacrifices our fathers made for us.

I think if it was going to be a holiday it would have already been made one.

I think it should be labled as "a day of remeberance" with no day off. Mabey just have a universal pause during the day to remember it all. God that was a bad day. Ill never forget where i was.


Im still pissed off to this day

Why do we remember the bad days? Why not remember the good days, like the day we started droppin bombs.
