Sept. 11, 2013 - PPM - 9/11 Discounts

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) actually happened on a Wednesday.

September 11th fell on a Wednesday this year. I had predicted that it was only a matter of time before 9/11 would be commercialized as a "Holiday." After all it happened to Memorial Day and Veteran's Day.

This year, it occurred on a local and national basis. After the appropriate outrage, the ads and offers were retracted.......this time.

As I have proposed before, ALL stores, schools, and government offices should be closed on September 11. We should honor the innocent lives lost and remember how we unified after the attacks.

Many have proposed that every September 11th should be a day of National Service. That is a good start.

We should make Community Service mandatory to maintain your citizenship EVERY YEAR. To be an AMERICAN, it is an honor and a privilege,. It should not be taken for granted. It should be EARNED.
