The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance or 9/11 Day is a federally-recognized National Day of Service that happens in the United States on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Originally founded by the 9/11 nonprofit 9/11 Day, the September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance later became federally recognized and authorized as a Day of Service under passage of the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which was adopted on a bipartisan basis by the U.S. Congress in 2009. Later that year, President Barack Obama amended the Patriot Day Presidential Proclamation, first established by President George W. Bush, officially designating September 11 as a National Day of Service and Remembrance. Surveys conducted by 9/11 Day claim that approximately 35 million Americans observe 9/11 Day by engaging in some form of charitable service, making 9/11 Day the largest annual day of charitable service in the United States. The September 11 National Day of Service and Remembrance and Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, are the only Days of Service officially recognized and established under federal law and Presidential Proclamation.

Comment:
Make 9/11 a national holiday.
Make the holiday fall on the nearest Monday or Friday to 9-11 so that it would be a three day weekend.
And because many people have to work on holidays, make it a law that people who work holidays are given a day in lieu of the holiday.

We had an outdoor service at my church this morning to watch the sunrise and remember those who died on 9-11... we do this every year... but today there were many tears for Kirk's family and friends... even I teared up... lots of hugs...

There are already too many federal holidays, BUT, I agree 9/11 should be. The entire nation was shook to it's core, and all Americans have suffered or were impacted from it.

Yet another unfunded mandate.

9/11 is the current generation's Pearl Harbor date. Maybe 9/10 (Charlie Kirk Day) will replace it.
