What a difference a day makes. 9/11 is a day of rememberance where over 3,000 people lost their lives, yet they laugh and celebrate (middle eastern countries). How can a society of people celebrate the burning and crumbling of two buildings with people inside trying to survive. In my opinion, it seemed like the whole region knew this act of terrorism was going to happen because why else would you celebrate. Those people were celebrating because they felt victorious to see chaos on our soil. Evil celebrates chaos, tragedy, and death. This is why we should make 9/11 a national holiday. 9/11 should be made a day of rememberance, a day to reflect on why we go to work everyday, a day to pray for the victims families, and a day to be thankful we were not in those planes and buildings that went down.
9/11 should be made into a national holiday so that we do not forget! Maybe Labor Day and 9/11 can share the same weekend since both events are a week apart. Making 9/11 a national holiday will give us a reason to get back at the evil that showed up in our country that day. The one thing I know is evil hates joy and making 9/11 a national holiday will surely bring joy to this nation. For example, 9/11 will bring families together and give workers an extended weekend to relax. In my opinion, the intentions of Al Queda was to destroy the joy, freedom, and life of this country which we can't let happen. We can't bring back the people who were killed on 9/11/2001, but we can let them know that we will not forget them!!!!!!!
I think I agree with you on this, though I always think of "holidays" as fun times. Maybe it should be called "Rememberance Day," or something more somber.

I do agree with a holiday for 9/11. I am concerned if they try puting the Labor Day holiday with 9/11 Rememberance Day may loss meaning of one or the other. Both are great events in US history. Labor rights movement had a number of deaths by the US government. The two may need there own days.
ReplyDeletei agree, we should commemorate their deaths. it is important to remember the lives that were lost through this tragedy. i thank God for forgiveness cause the ones that committed this murder have no idea the wrath of our God but through prayers these terrorist will be made to remember their wrongs one day if they haven't already, pay for their demise. it will be good to host a holiday in their honor to show all people in the world that we should start valuing life even more.
