I know it's been discussed to designate 9/11 as a national holiday, but just noticed that on that date in my Franklin Planner, it's called 'Patriot Day'. Is this something offical now? I wonder....
I think something should be done for that day.....

I also think it should be a national holiday, but I am pretty sure it is not. I think they just call it Patriot's Day for acknowledge it in some way from an other day.

IMO I think it would be treated like another day off from work to BBQ or hang out not to do anything in rememberance of the lives lost

Re: National Holiday on 9/11?
from what I've read, the president honored those lost by declaring Sept 11, Patriots day. I believe he did it around the anniversary last year.
I guess its a new holiday, but not a national day off work.
the president declared it patriot day...bt that does not designate it as a day off of work...just an acknowlegemant
IMO there is Memorial Day...think about the 2000+ that died in Pearl Harbor...or the 10,000+ EACH on Iwo Jima and Okinawa...
while they are not in our recent memories...those could have been our grandfathers....

Stef - Not all holidays are to celebrate happy things - what about Memorial day? That's considered a national holiday but it's to remember those who died in previous wars.....that's very sad too.
When did Bush do this? I don't remember hearing about it recently.....
