Of the 365 days in each year, only one has its own symbolism and significance when said numerically and that is 9/11. January 1st, July 4th, December 25 are also highly recognizable when you say them that way but should you say “1/1” “7/4” or 12/25 to any group of folks most of them would not make the connection or association with the holiday.
Thus, 9/11 has become its own catchphrase as well it should.

Pam and I visited the 911 memorial in New York last year. Very moving experience similar to what I felt when visiting Normandy and the Viet Nam Memorials. All those deaths and all because of what? Ideological differences? Hatred? Politics? I can’t say exactly but Robert Burns had a theory that it was just man being man.
