If passed by Congress, it would take a year for a federal Sept. 11 holiday to be implemented.
Despite the lasting impact of that day, voters are evenly split on the question of whether Sept. 11 should be a federal holiday, with 47 percent believing it should be and 46 percent believing the opposite.Rep. Anthony D’Esposito said he renewed the push in a post on Facebook Saturday.“It’s about making sure that our colleagues in the House realize that this isn’t something that we can only focus on in the second week of September every year,” D’Esposito added.
D’Esposito, who represents most of the Town of Hempstead and the city of Long Beach, reintroduced the bipartisan bill to designate 9/11 a national holiday and also aims for the deadliest terrorist attack in US history be taught in schools. “And really to reflect on what happened to this great country that day and, sometimes even more importantly, who was responsible for it,” he said.with 47 percent believing it should and 46 percent believing it should not.The attacks precipitated invasions and prolonged occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq; the creation of the Department of Homeland Security along with a heightened security regime at airports, major events and notable public buildings and tourist sites across the US.
