Friday was the first time the anniversary was observed as a national day of service, following an order signed this year by President Barack Obama.
"From this day forward, we will safeguard the memories of those who died by rekindling the spirit of service that lit our city with hope and helped keep us strong," said New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a ceremony in lower Manhattan.
Spirit of Service... WTF is that!!!! Picking up trash on the beach somehow honors those who died on 9/11?
And what about those who lived, but had their lives ruined forever? I have a buddy who is FDNY, and he says many on the responding firemen have very real respitory problems....
We have billions to bail out banks
We have billions to bail out insurance companies
We have billiions to hand out to fill CEO's pockets of failing companies as "bonus's" for a job well done...
We even have the fukin' Clunker Money program...
BUT
We dont have anything for the true hero's of 9/11... other than a day to pick up trash... and call it a tribute to them....
