"... victims of the Sept. 11 attacks were given a place of honor alongside soldiers who died in battle. "

"...the Pennsylvania field where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed after an apparent struggle between hijackers and passengers."

They were the victors in the first battle in the War on Terrorism.
These "civilian soldiers" are true American heroes and are very deserving of any and all honors bestowed them.

Big bump there, thanks!

I hope in future, on September 11, the anniversary of their sacrifice; we should remember them and acknowledge our debt to them and their families. But, I also hope that we reserve the rememberences of Memorial Day to those in uniform who fell to keep us free.

Memorial Day is not for living veterans. Neither is it for those who were victims of terrorist attack. Those who suffered the hardships of wartime service, and who made the ultimate sacrifice deserve the distinction.
