I would hate to see it become the type of holiday where everyone flocks to the malls for a "50% off Ground Zero Sale" !!
These Heroes deserve better than that!!!

What's to celebrate about a terrorists who flew planes into both world trade buildings, the pentagon, and into a field in pennsylvania and kill over 3,000 innocent Americans? Did you know that Pearl Harbor is not an official holiday and that attack on our country was just as bad as 9/11? Holidays should be a time of celebration. There is nothing to celebrate in these attacks.

You get a holiday every 11th September, and you will plan an outing with family- go on a picnic - club it with the weekend and fly off.
where is the tragedy then??

Probably for the same reason Veteran's Day commemorates the day WW1 ended, not the day it began and 12/7 is not a holiday.

There is, it's called Patriots Day. I am just waiting for it to be a day off, but not to celebrate, as I will tearfully, and solemnly remember the events of America's darkest day, .....a day when the angels wept.

Because American holidays have a way of turning into sales.
I can just see it now:
Discount airfares for 9/11
Frankfurters on sale "Two Jumbos for the price of one"
And so on...

911 has been called a tragedy but I think that label is somewhat of a misnomer....I think 911 can be more accurately refered to as "An act of war".

so....you are saying that because there is no national holiday that it is not a tragedy?
