(9/11 The holiday?)

There are way too many "empty" holidays in America. I think that making 9/11 a holiday makes sense, as it would be a holiday that would actually mean something other than business for Hallmark. Perhaps we could drop a couple in exchange... like Valentine and Ground Hog days... and X-mas and Easter too. Church and State are not supposed to be combined in this country. Religious holidays should not be National holidays.

We have a "labor" day and a "memorial" day. Either one would work for 9/11 people, in my opinion. Police, Firefighters, Medical Personell, Iron Workers, and even ordinary citizens all went above and beyond the call of duty that day. Maybe we could drop labor day and memorial day, and combine them into one "above and beyond the call of duty" day, and celebrate it on 9/11.
