This is something still very traumatic for many... My husband included (he lived & served a mission in NY). I believe that our generation is responsible for remembering the events that happened that day.
Let's show our respect & patriotism by flying the U.S., and/or military, and state flags properly. If you are religious, pray for the families that were affected by the attacks. Go donate blood! Go do volunteer work! Be a good citizen, and do something for someone else! :o)

I also suggest you tie a yellow ribbon around your tree, to show some love and respect for our troops. Thanks!

Telemachus R- I didn't ask you for your opinions on politics. I asked how you would pay your respects for 9/11.
Next time, if you're not going to answer appropriately, then just don't answer at all.

brainstorm- Yes, people that are murdered also matter. But this question is in regards to what happened on 9/11.

You're right, we all need to remember. Have you seen the movie "World Trade Center"? Very powerful movie of hope. Well done. I hope to buy myself a flag next week, actually, and get it installed somewhere in my yard, or on my deck. Not sure where though. Yellow ribbons already adorn my van.
Will probably watch whatever might be on television regarding that nightmare, too. Actually, have been watching it for the past 2 weeks.
You are right in that it is this generation that needs to remember. My son, who is only 20, felt it is too early to have gone to see the movie. Everyone is different, but I don't know anyone near or far that wasn't affected by those attacks.
Everyone will be in my prayers.

A local girls scout troop has put a bus trip together (about 3 hours away) for locals in our area to go up, see the sight now, and do a day on their own.
Many of them did donations to the funds that were put together for the people effected.
Thought it was a great idea... have no idea what I myself will do personally- since I work with a soldier that has spent time in NY shortly after it occured, and am dating a soldier who went on border control - I am sure it wont be go without being celebrated.

I'm going to Disneyland, I am going to celebrate my life, I am not going to stay inside and hide just in case.
We fly the USA flag every day and will until our troops come home! I don't care what other people's opinions are about whether we should be there or not, they still need to support our troops!

Live it like any other day,otherwise those subhuman excuses for muslims win! As to yellow ribbons I think they are a cheap way to assuage guilt or feel patriotic. Do something more meaningful. Support a charity or something for crippled veterans!

I always set aside time on 9/11 to reflect and remember. I pray for those we lost, for our country, for our Government. This year, I pray I won't have to deal with another conspiracy theory, just the facts. God bless you for the reminder.

I will fly the flag. I will thank God for the people who have the vision to understand there is an enemy who wants to kill us and have protected us from being attacked since.

Keep getting word out 'bout 9/11/2001 was an inside job. I hope the terrorist in chief and his buddy is brought to true justice.

Personally I'm going to crack a beer that day. Maybe more that one. Then I'm going to watch some TV. In short I'm going to relax. I'm NOT going to think about the events of five years ago one bit. This is my response to terrorism.
On November 5th however I WILL remember. I will also remember the decietful slide into war that proceeded from those events five years ago. And i will not be voting for candidates that aided and abbetted that slide. This is also my response to terrorism and the shameful demogoguery that uses it for political gain.

Was'nt that, like, 5 years ago?
By constantly dwelling on this and having all these displays of flags, etc. to commemorate that day, you are giving the guys who did the deed exactly what they want: PUBLICITY.
Plus you are continuing to foster fear in the public.
Lets move on, America, the time for mourning has passed.

Ignore it - it pales into insignificance when compared with the many thousands of americans killed every year by their fellow citizens.
Nobody seems to have memorial days for them. Don't they matter?
