My name is James. I am a volunteer firefighter, former boyscout, and a proud American.
On September 11th, 2001 our country was deliberately attacked by cowards. Lately in schools, many teachers have been neglecting the day and acting as if it never happened. I can say this because I still am a high school student who sees this first hand. 09/11/2001 was a day that can never/should never be forgotten. This potition is to make September 11th a national day of prayer and remembrance. We as Americans should preserve the history of that day and make sure future generations know what happened that day and how our country came back. To make this short and sweet, I am trying to get this as a national holiday so kids won't need to go to school, adults won't need to work. Instead people can be with loved ones and remember and pray for those effected. September 11th is no day for kids to be learning that adding and multiplying two letters gives you twenty. It is a day to rmeber history! Please spread this link and help preserve history.

The momentum behind this petition is undeniable and shows that people are finished with the schools trying to erase our history. This surge in support proves the establishment cannot keep ignoring our demand to honor those we lost.

kids these days dont even know what happened. they shouldnt be in school at all on 9/11
My cousin was there and he never got to come home. It is a disgrace that we treat this day like just another Tuesday.
This should never be forgotten. I notice in school not one teacher talk about it.
343 of my brother and sisters in the fire service died. Should have been a holiday since 9/12/01
9/11 is something that should, and can not be neglected! As Americans we all should have a day to pray and remember those who lost their lives in this tragedy.
I watched on the tv the horrible and tragic event on 911. I saw a colleague frantically walking up and down the hall trying to call her husband who worked at the Pentagon and was unable to reach him. As a retired teacher, I had a parent who was a flight attendant and was supposed to be on the plane that crashed into the Pentagon. On that plane there were two flight attendants (husband and wife) who lived in my town. This day affected everyone. 911 should be remembered and never forgotten.
This day is very historic and should be remembered everyday
