I don't know about a national holiday. It seems that most national holidays have been reduced to a day for department store sales. That would be disgraceful.
There is a September 11th fund which is supposed to go to the families of the victims and the survivors of the attacks. I'm not sure how it will be distributed. Last I heard in New York only a few people have received any money. I know that many children have lost at least one parent and will need financial support.
There will be a business structure build there, but probably not the same height as the Twin Towers.
On a personal note: Yesterday, I drove through Brooklyn which is across the East River from the site. The skyline looked so empty. I could see the Statue of Liberty, but I miss the Twin Towers. I hope that whatever they build there will be beautiful and dignified.
