Tuesday will mark 11 years since the United States was attacked by terrorists.
President Barack Obama has called for a national day of service to remember the attacks of September 11, 2001, on Tuesday. Do you think the day should be honored in other ways?

Take our poll below and tell us in the comments how the nation should remember the thousands of lives lost in the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, the Pentagon and on United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed in Shanksville, PA.
