When I think about 9-11, on any other day, I don’t usually think of the “attacks” on the two marvelous towers. To tell you the truth, the only time I think about September 11th, is on September 11th. The only people that would think about it everyday would be people and families that lost someone, or people whom the day has a significant meaning to them such as an Anniversary or a Birthday. I understand the compassion some Americans show for our great country but most people only care about September 11th, on September 11th. I personally think that “real” Americans are the ones that fight for our country every day and put their lives on the line, not the ones just living to live. I don’t think that it is bad to care about this day but I think that remembrance of it should not be once a year, but many times a year, such as everyday. Everyday Americans should remember the men and women that died in the attacks, and also the Special Forces that helped out with the aftermath. We should not remember the bad things about the day, but give praise for those who did everything they could to help and those who survived.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARTICLE IT IS JUST A DISCUSSION QUESTION.
Why does this certain “disaster” get a day named after it? Katrina hit on August 29th, so why isn’t this day now called 8-29? The total death tolls were close, and Katrina affected more people, physically, than 9/11.
I agree.Men and women sacrifice their lives every single day to fight for and defend our country. and they deserve every bit of credit. but we have to remember the people who lost their lives that day. They were innocent people. Some just trying to get home to see theit families. Families that would never see them again. Families that are no left short of a member. These people had no warning. They boarded a plane one minute, it hope only to get home safely, and a few hours later, were flying towards bulidings. Innocent by standers, tourists, no one asked for that... No one thought that while taking a quick snapshot of the empire state building to take home to show aunt susan would harm aunt susan in hours when she gets the phone call to find out theyre dead. When families send people off to go to war, there is always that fear. theres a chance they wont be coming back home. When youre enrolled for the army, you know that. Theres always that chance. youre putting your life at stake. innocent people walking down the street of new york city didnt. they just wanted to get a cup of coffee at one of the 4 biliion starbucks on every street corner. or go see rockefeller plaza. maybe even see the statue of liberty, or meet some friends for lunch. not run in horror or have their life taken away instantly while on the phone with your boss. it was unfair. and affected so many poeple. so quickly.
