I am frustrated that we see these efforts to turn 9/11 into a day of service.
I am all for volunteerism and helping others in other contexts, but what is the point of stressing volunteerism in remembrance of 9/11?
It’s as if we want to mark the day, but don’t really want to talk about what happened that day, or who attacked us. Encouraging volunteerism is fine, but, doing so in remembrance of 9/11 seems out of place, in my opinion.
“I am frustrated that we see these efforts to turn 9/11 into a day of service.”
Don’t get me started. I could do another rant on that subject as well.
The volunteerism thing is the community organizer’s way.
