The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance or 9/11 Day is a federally-recognized National Day of Service that happens in the United States on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Originally founded by the 9/11 nonprofit 9/11 Day, the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance later became federally recognized and authorized as a Day of Service under passage of the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which was adopted on a bipartisan basis by the U.S. Congress in 2009. Later that year, President Barack Obama amended the Patriot Day Presidential Proclamation, first established by President George W. Bush, officially designating September 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. Surveys conducted by 9/11 Day claim that approximately 35 million Americans observe 9/11 Day by engaging in some form of charitable service, making 9/11 Day the largest annual day of charitable service in the United States. The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, are the only Days of Service officially recognized and established under federal law and Presidential Proclamation.

Comment:
Make 9/11 a national holiday.
Make the holiday fall on the nearest Monday or Friday to 9-11 so that it would be a three day weekend.
And because many people have to work on holidays, make it a law that people who work holidays are given a day in lieu of the holiday.

I'd rather have election days be national holidays.

If 12/7 isn't a holiday, how can 9/11 be?

Are you aware that recently TACO wanted to reduce the number of federal holidays? Saying it's harmful for the economy.

“Too many non-working holidays in America. It is costing our Country $BILLIONS OF DOLLARS to keep all of these businesses closed. The workers don’t want it either!”​

​

He argued that the growing number of holidays is economically damaging and claimed that workers themselves are not in favor of so many days off. " link​

I call BS on the workers complaining...he made that up. Workers can usually work holidays if they want because so many other people want them off.

"Happy 9/11 everyone!"

 

[bythoughts]

If we had a fairer sharing of the earth's resources and the bounty that machines and AI can give us, we could have more holidays than working days.

But I'm not sure I want Pearl Harbor Day, 9/11 Day, etc. to be among them. I would rather celebrate the ENDS of wars than their beginnings.

I disagree
I think that holidays are good for the economy.
Three day weekends give people a chance to travel to family and friends.
Traveling stimulates the economy.
And three day weekends give people a break from work which can stimulate their productivity.
