An anniversary of a tragic event that is now used to sell anything: airline, magazines, sodas, etc.
Politicians are especially blatant in using this day to promote themselves and to sell policies that make no sense.

1) the beginning of the 3 weeks that my home was covered in smoke and the smell of asbestos and dust.
2) The day my cousin died.
3) The day a good friend almost died but was carried down 35 flights of steps by a total stranger
4) A lesson in sensitivity and awareness to a number of people

9/11 was a big deal and has a lot of political and cultural significance that needs to be addressed thoughtfully adn carefully.

A tragic, horrific day in American history. The day exhibited how vulnerable the United States can be, yet the politicians have a major portion of our military in Iraq. Didn't the government learn anything?
The U.S. military has been in Iraq longer than we participated in WWII & longer than the "Civil War".....
After 9/11, our Military needs to be where it belongs; HOME, attempting to protect the American people!

9/11 changed America forever. If I were president, I would tell them to eat their oil and we will keep our food; I would bring the military home immediately and stop feeding the military industrial complex. ie: the companies that make all of the ammunition, guns, planes, tanks, humvees, etc. Enough of our military has died or been maimed, needlessly! In my opinion, 9/11 started this ignorant dispersion of the U.S. military in another "Vietnam"!! Why does the U.S. police the world? Isn't it time the U.S. "saved" the U.S.? There's oil in places other than the middle east. Enough death!

No one wants to play the Bush drinking game, because with the number of times he mentions 9/11, people would drop dead of alcohol poisoning.

The memic buzzword referring to the infamous events which occurred in New York City on Tuesday September 11th, 2001. When used by the mainstream media and/or politicians, it is intended to illicit a fear response and a sense of blind nationalism in the United States or elsewhere. Often, it is also used as a fear mongering allusion to a future hypothetical tragedy of the same magnitude or worse.
“Giuliani is running on 9/11 and portraying himself as a hero. It’s disgusting. It’s horrible.” - FDNY Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches
