    [​IMG] I noticed today is a holiday - Patriot day. Why? 12/7 isn't a holiday and there was as much devistation and life loss then.

    The arguing may begin. *ding* :)

    The Battle of Brandywine? Isn't that some Hobbit conflict against the White Wolves? What does that have to do with Patriot Day?

    Seeing as how nothing at my university was done regarding the attacks besides articles in the student newspaper: so what?

    Never heard of Patriot Day. We Dutchies may seem to be not so patriotic. And I'm glad I can say that right now, 12 September, it's already National Chocolate Milkshake Day!
