Should September the Eleventh Be A National Holiday? On September 11th 2001, the United States was attacked by terrorists who decided to try to crash 4 planes full of passengers into targets that they felt could cause the most damage to our country. The succeeded by crashing into Towers one and two of the World Trade center, the Pentagon, and a field in New Jersey. They killed over 3,000 people, mostly civilians, who had no chance to defend …showed first 75 words of 313 total…

…showed last 75 words of 313 total…no way can compare to the loss of life and devastation of 9-11, they are still horrible events that should also be remembered. 9-11 should not be made a holiday that will slowly lose its significance over the years. It should be a day to remember the precious lives lost and as a day the world found out that the United States will not sit by and let terrorists do whatever they want to us.
