On Sept 11th 2001 3000 innocent people lost their lives in a suicide attack on the United States of America. 9-11-2001 was a day that changed many lives. 9 years later, the lights that beamed where the tower fell to remember those lives, have gone out, and as I look down the street, I do not see a single American flag being flown. The days after 911 we saw a sense of unity around this nation. As I drove down the street, almost every vehicle had a flag flying from it. Politicals views were pushed a side as we all regrouped from the attacks. 9 years later, Have we forgotten? I have heard not of a single event to honor any of the fallen. Lets bring back the unity, and make a change today! 911 should be a holiday such as memorial day and Independence day, to be with our families, and fly the flag high, and be patriotic. Don't sit their and forget. Make 911 a National Holiday to remember the lives lost and the impact of that day. What ever your politcial views, I think we can all agree that day changed our lives, and we shall never forget. I hear everyone talking of "change" these days. We need to "change" and get back to the foundation of remembering what it is to be free.

Never forget. It breaks my heart how people just go about their day like nothing ever happened. Should be a day off for everyone to reflect.

YES. I always fly my flag but it feels like I'm the only one on the block. Too many people have gotten lazy about respecting this day.
