Hmmm. I'd be interested to see what people think. I'd love to have more time off, but I understand that part of the reason America is so economically strong is our hard-working ethic. The rest of the world parties and whines about not having more. We work our butts off and prosper. No mid-afternoon siesta for me. No "holiday" for me. But I'm not complaining, either.

I would prefer to celebrate "VT Day" -- Victory over Terrorism Day. Let's wait until we've completely taken out the trash, and then decide how to observe the whole situation.

I vote "No." We have enough holidays. Besides, those who were killed on 9/11 were either at or on their way to work. There's no better way to honor them than to do what we normally do.

Was Dec 7, 1941 cause for a natl holiday?
Was the sinking of the USS Maine?
Were the deaths of US Marines in Lebanon
or of Army Rangers in Somalia cause for a
natl holiday?

gubmint "workers" needs more time off.
To: madvlad
I voted no in that poll, and any others related to that topic.
Why should we have another holiday when our other 'remembrance' holidays (Memorial, Veterans, July 4th) have been rendered meaningless by the vast majority of the populace?
I say let's honor those who fell last year by taking over the Iraqi oil fields, turning up the spigots full blast, and taking the price of oil down to $10/bbl. I would also favor legislation that would provide a special 'Iraqi oil rebate' to all that paid federal income taxes last year.
Think of the possibilities...first, Bush gave us a new muffler in 2001. Maybe in 2003, Free Gas!!!!!

Americans don't need another holiday. American children need to be in school learning, adults need to be working and we sure as hell don't need to pay the government employees for another holiday. Semper Fi

No. Besides, if it were made a national holiday, we'll probably lose one of the traditional ones to maintain the schedule, like we did with MLK day. One civil rights leader (admittedly a very admirable man) is now worth two nameless presidents. I'm not willing to give up Memorial Day, Labor Day, or Thanksgiving, for Islamo-whackos Crashing into Buildings Day.
