I am a little frustrated with some of these answers.
lemme tell you WHY. you are assuming that I don't remember the troops and that there is another tragic event going on. i am AWARE. thank you. I have mentioned the troops in my answers on this and my suspended account.
i said 9/11. PATRIOT DAY.
it's not that I am not thinking about the troops, but this is a significant day.
it is a day of reflection for many. a day or rembrance. a day of sheer horror for me.
thank you for your answers even if i don't agree with them. i appreciate them.

yes. 9/11 is Patriot Day.
was implemented i believe in 2003. A day to "remember" the events that took place on Steptember 11, 2001 by President Bush

weatherman- i think that would be a small minority of people that would think you are glorifying a war. i think there should be days to remember significant markers or events in history

Yes... Am lighting a candle of rememberance. Trying not to be consumed by saddness. Found a great sight to make a difference >>>> GoodDeed.org
Site was developed for a victim of 9/11.... is to make a positive out of all the misery. Please join. Takes only a moment and pledge to do a good deed, is all.
Last I checked, 287,000+ strong. Let's get the word out and make it about good will and love and move past the pain the best we can. We Americans (and all others) need to make this as an example and change today and for the future.
May God Bless all of those who sacrificed their lives and unknowingly will remain in our hearts as heros. May peace be with their survivors, and all who have been efected.

Ok..please please please dont hate me for this guys....but I think that people should use this day as a day to remember that we're not immune from danger and we should take the time we have here to let others know we appreciate them....and i really dont want anyone to take this the wrong way...but we can only have so many days of rememberances before people are just like oh anothe rday to remember all who have fallen...do i get it off from work??..... we were knocked down but we got back up and to some 9/11 was tragedy they may never overcome....to others it was an inspiration...a kick in the butt to do what they felt was just the right thing for them to do...It was the escalating point of this war...and while i'm at it....thank you all who are or who have served our country.... As for the Brit..i've never heard people say anything about your rememebrance of the world war 2 we have our own things..like vetrans day so i have no clue what your talking about.... **==
oh and person above me..... i hate bush because i'm smarter than him and he controls our country....must be nice to have a daddy with influencial power......

Yes I have some thoughts. Why do they keep doing 9/11 memorials every year (6 years now) and show it live on tv for 4 hours on several channels? In my opinion, I think it just prolongs the grieving process and the victims families/friends will never heal because of this and the memorials just brings back the trauma. Why don't they just quit doing the memorials on live television and stop displaying names and pictures of the deceased, shouldn't that be a personal choice for the victims families? Of course, we'll always remember 9/11 but the live memorials do not help and it seems like the memorial forces itself onto people who just want to move on. 6 years is just way too long to do live 9/11 memorials. Anyone agree?

On September 11, 2001 I was off that day, and it was such a beautiful sunny day here in Ohio. I'd just taken a shower and had the Today Show on, and then I saw the live footage of the towers coming down. It was so unreal, so surreal... like some horrible movie scenario only it was quite drastically real. Later on I went out for a bike ride on my Bianchi hybrid bike, and I took some photographs of old glory, our American flag which was standing so tall and high. The sun was shining through the fabric of that glorious one and only flag, and I took several snapshots of it to remember that day. God bless America, land that I love! Amen! I know things are not perfect in America, but we have freedom here. Those who are living in America but are against it should try living in Iran, Iraq, or some other oppressive country where you can't vote, express your views freely, and not worry about being in terror of things going on. God bless America!

It is a day in history, memorialzed because of terrorism that happened on US soil. If The US made as much production out of all the tragedys that have happened sinces it's birth, then every bloomin day would be a holiday. I'm not saying that it wasn't a tragedy, but we as people don't take the day we lost some one in war , and continue to memorialize it every year on that date. To do so would eventually have the whole nation in the mental ward. Let it go , and live your life .

OK, this is going to get me a lot of TD's, and maybe insults but the question is asked so I will answer honestly.
BUT FIRST - I find the people making jokes over this a disgrace to humanity
RIGHT HERE GOES.
My main thought on today is that it makes Americans hypocrites.
They knock us Brits, and several other nations, saying we are glorifying war, and living in the past, by remembering the dead of the World Wars each November ............ Yet expect the rest of the world to drop everything and remember the victims of this tragedy purely because it happened on American soil.
Well sorry, but I lost family in WW II and will remember them with my minutes silence each November, if Americans can't accept that as remembrance and not a glorifying war, then how can they be that self absorbed to tell me to remember their own dead.
And YES, I know it's not ALL Americans who feel the way I have stated about Remembrance Sunday, but the vocal minority that give the rest of you a bad name, and leave a sour taste in the mouth.
Having said that, I do think it is right for America to remember it's dead on this day.
There you have it, a controversial, but honest, answer

yea. it's my anniversary too, but i've been recalling the events in my mind.
I had just got up, turned on the news and settled in with a cup of coffee when the events began to unfold.
I sat transfixed in horror throughout the 1st and 2nd tower crashes, the Pentagon attack, the crash of flight 93
and the collapse of the towers.In fact, I spent15 hours trying to get any detail I could learn.
What matters more to me, though, is the very next day I formed a 50/50 raffle and for 2 solid week, hustled every dime i could out of people and raised $2000, which i sent to the Widows and Orphans of NYC Police and Firefighters Assoc.
It made me feel less helpless to be able to DO something.

Patriot Day?
What does several thousand people getting killed by terrorists have to do with being a "patriot"? They did not die for their country. They were murdered. The police and fire fighters who gave their lives trying to save others are heros.
Everyone who has volunteered to join the Military are patriots, not just the ones fighting in the middle east. They already have a day set aside each year to honor them, as do the veterans.
So I ask again, why should 9/11 be designated "Patriot Day"?
.

Invite friends over and have a big BBQ. Hot dogs, hamburgers, brats, the works. Like people have over the 4th. So that we can remember why we are here and what we stand for as a country.
