At least here in NY, the governor has decided that in 2006, September 11 will become a holiday.<br /><br />This is a good thing, I think!?!<br /><br />The people of NY still feel the impacts of that day, everyday.<br /><br />Maybe the holiday can ease the pain of some.<br /><br />Kenny

I was thinking it should be made a national holiday. It will go down in hitory as one day that changed the world. Even more so than Dec 7, 1941... I don't think there are too many single days in the history of this nation that had the same level of impact.

I have to disagree on making September 11 a national holiday.<br /><br />After about 8 - 10 years, the date would just become another day for the retail stores to hold another sale day and a day for the beer manufacturers to promote another excuse to get drunk.<br /><br />Kenny

I hope you are right gonfishin .<br /><br />Maybe I'm just being toooooo optomistic about the impact of that day in the future, but look at what has happened to other holidays, like Memorial Day.<br /><br />Memorial Day is no longer a day that we mourn those who sacraficed their lives for our freedoms.<br /><br />It has become the unofficial beginning of summer, with the big summer sale at K-Mart and Walmart, and every beer company is promoting the beginning of summer with a beer bash somewhere.<br /><br />I am really afraid that if September 11 becomes a national holiday, it will just become another day off of work for most people in the near future.<br /><br />When was the last time you saw 18 - 20 year olds at your Memorial Day Parade?<br /><br />At least where I live, the reasons for Memorial Day are no longer observed, and that is sad.<br /><br />Kenny

The best thing that they should have done with the World Trade Center site, would have to left all that debris there for all to see.<br /><br />The area was cleared out so quickly, that most Americans never really saw the devistation other than in pictures.<br /><br />Pictures will never give anyone a real sence of what it was like down there.<br /><br />And the smell...oh, the smell.<br /><br />That is something most Americans will never experience first hand, unless you were in NYC within the 1st two months after the attacks.<br /><br />Just thinking about the smell, brings that memory back and now I can smell it again.<br /><br />So much for lunch today!<br /><br />Kenny

Kenny after all these spirited discussions today I think many of us will be skipping lunch

Re: That we may never forget 9-11-01

A bottle of Snapple and 3 ritz crackers for lunch.<br /><br />They all smelled and tasted like the WTC site.<br /><br />And my boss won't let me go home early!<br /><br />Kenny

Re: That we may never forget 9-11-01

Now I know why my boss wouldn't let me go home early...<br /><br />I have to go down there for a meeting!<br /><br />I'm not really sure I want to go, but I don't have a choice.<br /><br />Its either that, or my job!!<br /><br />Kenny
