"may all the first responders, military, good samaritans and victims of 9/11 be ever remembered and all the fallen never be forgotten."- joseph p.martino

absolutely not - it would become just another holiday to with 50% off sales. Keep the day as it is and remember those we lost every day.

I received a solicitation to contribute to a 9/11 Museum. They want $1,000.00 to put my name on a cobblestone on the site. Not for nothing, and no one ever has the nerve to say or print this, but we, most Americans, are growing tired of these professional WTC familes. They each got an average of $1,900,000.00 from the US Government. That doesn't count other settlements and private insurance. All in all, if a family member was lost at WTC, the survivors averaged $4.7 M. Let them buy their own cobblestones. The family of an US Service man or woman who dies in combat gets $6,000.00 and a $1,200.00 burial allotment. Kids get $about $700.00 a month until they are 18. Enough with 9/11. It happened. So did the sinking of the Maine, and the fall of the Alamo. Let's give those families $1.8 Million adjust for inflation with interest.

Not that's class. Someone taped a dollar store flag to the marble monument. Rip it down. It's an insult.
