why do they call it 'celebrating' 9/11 and 9/11 'celebrations'?

[donsu]

good grief! what a thing to 'celebrate'

and they are always saying 'don't forget 9/11' or 'people are forgetting 9/11'

who in the hell can forget 9/11? or celebrate it?

a war and benefit from it.

Can you imagine..having lost someone that day and hearing the word celebrate?

My heart still breaks for all those lost and their families and friends.

14. It's like "celebrating" Memorial Day--- the word is just used without

thinking. Should be commemorate, observe, etc.
