Should there be a 9/11 Holiday?

[ForeverBigBlue]

NBC is conducting a poll asking whether or not a national holiday should be established in remembrance of the events of 9/11.

At this moment, those voting against such a holiday are narrowly leading those in favor of it.

Your thoughts?

I'm indifferent.  I can see where it would be great to remember those people lost, but we have a Memorial Day already.

I am split on the idea too..I think it is a good idea but I don't know if it will happen.

There definetly should be a Monument.
As Far as a National Holiday, i could support it or not, its not like anyone will ever forget it, thats living now.
Its the Future Generation that it would benifit the most.

I agree that there should be a National Monument! And like you said this is something that no one will ever forget...

Memorial. Yes

Holiday. No.

Same here, monument and memorial of course, but not a holiday.  We remember the dead on Memorial Day, whether they died in combat or in a national tragedy,  or were a dear loved one, and Memorial Day should remain the National day of rememberance.

Looks like most of us are in agreement.  Monument and memorial, but no additional holiday.
