Should 9/11 become a national holiday?

In Canada, our Prime Minister has announced that 9/11 will become a "National Day of Service". Every September 11th, Canadians are encouraged now to offer support and assistance to anyone who needs help in honour of the victims of 9/11.

Perhaps the US should do something similar????

If we were to make it a Holiday it would be like memorial day, which we already have. We can't celebrate the loss of the people and we most certainly wouldn't celebrate a terror attack. I think us Americans have the responsibility to share this day with generations to come. No need for a holiday.

a holiday is something you enjoy. nothing is funny about 9/11 and the 9/11 victims families should remember them in peace, not an all out party from bloomberg

Holidays are celebrations and there is nothing to celebrate about 9/11.

No. That would be like having a holiday for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7 1941.

These are dates that should be remembered, but not as holidays. I would not think that there should be a holiday for a day that our country was attacked.

nope.i think it should be very sad day because of 2001 11/9 American tragedy of aircraft suicide bombing Twin Towers,more than 2000 people were died.holidays should be one or two days for christians it's sunday for jews saturday days for vacation,these days people don't work,stay at home with their family or going to parks to make picnik,it can be also day of any religioun celebrety f.e. Chrismass ,Easter,or Passover,or secular f.e Independence Day,and so on.11/9 its day of candels each candel is a soul of innocent human beeng who were murdered in this day,in the such brutel massacre.

It shouldn't be a holiday. holiday's imply celebration. It should be a National day of remembrance and no one should ever forget.

No we celebrate holidays not tragedys

No because holidays are like celebrations and I dont think we should celebrate that

To me, no. It's not something to be celebrated, but more remembered.
