I am in the Honor Guard at my Paramedic job so we are in a parade,I admit I am a little scared of them trying something,we are only 4 miles from Central command,I do think it should be a holiday to honor the people who died on 9/11 and for the military people,It has made me prouder to be an American!

Saying a prayer and then going about my daily life with my thoughts on those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Heck yeah the day should be a national holiday, if anyone deserves respect, they do. It changed the way I define a Hero.

My husband is a Navy Seabee he also will be in a parade here, he has been home shortly from Iraq. It saddens me that there are not as many people displaying their flags as much as they did after 9/11. It has changed the lives of us all and in many more ways in others (victims of 9/11, those in war and lost in war). Yes I do believe it should become a national holiday to honor all that lost their lives and those who keep us free daily. I am very proud to be an American!

I will stay home. I won't be taking any flights. -_-
I think it should be a holiday, yes. But how to observe the day? Is it a day of remembrance, a day of sorrow, a day of anger? Is it a day where we say we won't take crap from anyone? How exactly should we feel about this day?
Do we celebrate the heroic efforts of the police, firefighters, and our troops who are overseas?
I'll put out the flagpole, donate some money to the memorial and probably just reflect. Don't know if a BBQ feels appropriate for me.

Working. It will always be a day to remember, cry, mourn, etc., but I don't think it should be a national holiday. Look at our other holidays - they've become an excuse for endless commercialization. What a sad thing it would be if September 11th became that.

I agree. I am having a cookout tomorrow to commemorate the event. We do it for memorial day weekend so why not for 9/11?

Well I do personally but then again Pearl Harbor attack isn't so I don't know, but the fact that my husband is a marine definately makes it hit closer to home and I most definately think that it should be.

I will be among the many people who lost a loved one on that day. My family and I will reflect on all the memories we have, and will always hold in our hearts... He was a fireman in NYC... and will always be remembered for his bravery, we are so proud of him, and how persistent he was in saving lives, before the actual colapse....
Proud American?? YES, we are, and always will be!
