I don't think it should be a holiday. A long moment of silence should be held, then get on with your day.

I guess I'm just weird but I remember Pearl Harbor and D-day when they come around, but maybe that's just because I actually read about them.

I think that many of the reasons these things are forgotten is that they aren't remembered as much as they should be in many history books and such. Sure there are plenty of books on the subjects, but when you get in your history text book in class, there really isn't much on each thing. I even had one that only listed Pearl Harbor month, and not the full date...

I think people will continue to remember 9/11 mainly because it was the first major direct attack on us since, well the war of 1812.

Cogito ergo sum

I don't think 9-11 ought to be a holiday, simply because the day Pearl Harbor was attacked isn't, nor are any of the days where we have been either attacked or led into battle. Perhaps Memorial Day will expand to encompass this day beneath its envelope.

Regarding the upcoming one-year anniversary, I plan to go out and do something, to live life as I have been. Nothing is a more fitting memorial than to show those ignorant (refrains from saying what she wants to say) who attacked us that our life WILL INDEED GO ON, even though they did this to us.

No better thumb in the face than that... and I'm sure all those who were killed would want it this way.
