Cincy ... Patriot Day is tomorrow, it is a right wing hatefest regarding taxes and healthcare, it has NOTHING to do with 9-11. Fighter just made you look silly. Google it Cincy ... In the past 9-11 has been called this but the right wing is having a huge rally tomorrow in Washington abusing the remembernce of 9-11.

Okay...I googled "Patriot Day" and what I saw was that today is Patriot Day. Don't tell me Christmas was moved to December 26th? Or that New Year's Day is now January 2nd???

Why do you hate America?

It's too bad you just can't put your politics aside in one thread and remember those who lost loves ones on September 11, 2001.

My God bless them and their loved ones.

Is there any compassion in that hate filled heart bman?

So Patriot Day becomes Community Service Day?

Picking up trash - what a way to remember that awful day.

My memories of that day are pretty personal. As far as I'm concerned we can call it whetever the hell anyone wants to call it, and do whatever the hell feels right to do.... although I dont think pissing and moaning are very appropriate.

I took comfort this morning when I was thinking about 9/11 and the biggest thing on the minds of my kids was the fact we'd run out of cocoa krispies and they had to eat kix.

its sooo bush/cheeney to call it Patriots Day. doesnt seem quite the right words imho..but its absolutely a day to remember and is deserving of national observation. guess somehow i had missed over the years that it was called patriots day.

i think of maine and mass in the spring when i think of patriots day.

I think of football and Tom Brady when you say "Patriots' Day".

Whatever you call it, at the end of the day, it was a horrible day. Some may turn it into a service day, some may turn it into a day when they proclaim their political beliefs, but for me, I just quietly remember where I was,how I felt when I found out, seeing those heartbreaking shots of people jumping out of the windows to avoid the fires, the shots of the planes crashed into the WTC, and think of the people that died. I don't give a damn what you call it or what you choose to do with that day; that's my own personal remembrance. Actually, I suppose I do - I think it should just be left alone as a day of remembrance, but what others do with it is their choice.

Perhaps you should ask the family members of the victims of Flight 93, or the family members of any emergency responders who lost their lives that day, or the victims at the Pentagon what it should be called then.

"Patriot Day" is just fine with me!

po obama..damned if he does and damned if he doesnt...again!

USA Freedom Corps: Strengthening Service To Meet Community Needs;
President Bush Highlights Volunteer Initiative And Thanks America's Armies Of Compassion

Today, President Bush hosted a White House event highlighting the accomplishments of USA Freedom Corps, the volunteer initiative launched as part of a national Call to Service after the attacks of 9/11 to help more Americans connect with opportunities to serve their neighbors in need. The President honored the work of America's armies of compassion and repeated his call for Americans to devote 4,000 hours - or two years, in service to our country over their lifetimes.

Following 9/11, President George W. Bush called on all Americans to serve their communities, their Nation, and their world.

In his 2002 State of the Union Address, he announced the creation of USA Freedom Corps to connect Americans with more opportunities to serve their country and to foster a culture of citizenship, responsibility, and service.

* Nearly 61 million Americans have answered the President's Call to Service by volunteering. These volunteers are helping feed the hungry, house the homeless, aid the addicted, mentor at-risk youth, and offer critical care to those in need at home and around the world.

USA Freedom Corps Is Helping Americans Answer The President's Call To Service By Strengthening National Service Programs

* Citizen Corps, created by President Bush following 9/11 to build a culture of preparedness, now has nearly one million volunteers nationwide, and their efforts reach more than three-quarters of the American people. Citizen Corps fosters collaboration among government and civic leaders to achieve broader participation in disaster preparedness and response.

* Volunteers for Prosperity, also created by President Bush, mobilized more than 43,000 doctors, teachers, engineers, and other skilled Americans this year to address critical needs abroad. The program matches skilled American professionals with service opportunities in the developing world. Both Citizen Corps and Volunteers for Prosperity have proven to be effective, and President Bush calls on Congress to make these programs permanent.

* Peace Corps has been provided its highest level of funding in history under President Bush. The Peace Corps has opened or re-opened programs in 13 countries. It currently supports about 8,000 Americans who commit to serve two years in communities overseas.

* AmeriCorps provides opportunities for more than 74,000 people to serve their fellow Americans.
