I admit I thinking about 9/11 makes me sad especially the people who fell to their deaths. I can still remember where I was clearly.
That said I do not condone the subsequent wars and the irreparable damage they have caused. I don't think we need a "Patriot Day", but small act of remembrance isn't something we should disdain.

I'm going to continue to show my support to law enforcement (and other first responders) who risk their lives in spite of the the fact that they sometimes disrespect people in their custody.
NP
And I feel that they risk their lives daily while getting disrespected, spit on, kicked at, shot at and threatened over and over again. So if you don't want get "disrespected" in a police chase, custody, etc... don't do anything to get you into custody in the first place. Most countries would just kill you. Our country isn't perfect but the rights these criminals and thugs have compared to law enforcement are ridiculous. Just try for one day to be a patrol officer or an EMT that responds to a call in SE DC. It is insanely frightening.
Wrap your mind around the notion that I (1) support the police and (2) don't like it when the police abuse their authority. BOTH.

What did James Blake do to get "disrespected"?

I think I will have a moment of silence personally. Where I work, I can hear church bells ring at the times. I think that is nice. It does not have to be a big to-do.

It was a tragic event in our nation's history in which thousands of innocent people lost their lives. No one is celebrating, but I think the idea of going out of your way to do something kind as a way to show remembrance / appreciate life / celebrate the goodness that remains in the world is a nice idea.

It's great to do a good deed. How does paying for a stranger's food -- especially a random person, someone who may not need your help, reflect the tragedy of 9/11?
Teach your children that 9/11 was a tragedy in which people lost their lives, and have a moment of silent solemn reflection. Don't trivialize it.

Maybe think about the awful chain of events that 9/11 set forward - so many lives lost at home, but also innocently abroad. Teach your child compassion, how to deal with conflict healthily, history, and to do good deeds always and every day if they can (and without expecting anything in return). I don't really understand what buying someone's lunch for a day will do, or how it connects to 9/11.
I don't really understand commemorating 9/11 at all. It was a terrible crime that ultimately resulted in a lot of other terrible things--wars, torture, loss of civil liberties, etc. We might take a minute to think about what happened and what we learned from events, but it's not something to celebrate or dwell on.
