    My American friends how do you honour your nation on Sept 11?

    Tomorrow is the 15th anniversary of the deadly 9/11 attacks. Is there something you do or is it just another day?

    I remember when the 9/11 attacks occurred...I was early for class my junior year in high school...was getting food and everything got shut down..the announcement was made that we needed to head into the auditorium....no one had a clue what was going on...they showed us live...and I don;t think anyone said a word for about 30 minutes....ever since that day I have donated to the 911 memorial....and say a prayer to all the families still struggling...God bless

    Put the flag out

    Put on the white pajamas and burn some crosses on the neighbors' lawns

    Typical Sunday

    It was a tremendously shocking day. The one day in your life where we all remember what we were doing.

    Smoke baby back ribs, drink beer and watch football. The terrorists hate our way of life so I'm doing the things that piss them off tomorrow.

    I agree---the Muslims defeated us by ruining our economy and way of life. We are beaten, this will be a Muslim country in 50 years.

    Always concerned if these guys are going to try something else on the same date like they did in 2012 in Benghazi. I'm sure security is going to be even tighter at the sporting events today.

    to me, the way we have exploited and commercialized 9-11 has bastardized its true meaning and I find it hypocritical and disgusting...I tell my family, friends, etc. that I'm damn proud to be American (Greek/Italian Heritage) 365 days a year, 7 days a week, 24/7!......everyone should feel this way...ditto for holidays like July 4th, Memorial day, Veterans day, etc!...just like when I play christmas carols in the summertime and people look at me like I'm nuts and I tell them that I worship our lord and savior Jesus Christ everyday of the year not just once or twice!...(Christmas and Easter)....

    Thanks for bringing this up Lakerboy.

    It's a shame a Canadian has to bring up the 15th anniversary of an American tragedy. Then we have Americans
    making light of the subject.

    9-11 Never forget!

    I was a young infantry pup when the attacks happened and I answered the call as many others that day. Much love and respect to those who serve and my thoughts to all those that lost their lives on that day.
