9-11-01 Remembrance - Opinions needed ASAP

[N2DFire]

O.K. - quick background.
I'm a volly FF - Work in a secure office environment - other than my co-workers I will only "interact" with the public going to & from work and if I happen to get to go out at lunch.


On the years that the 9-11 anniversary fell on a weekday - I wore my Full dress uniform w/ mourning band in to work to remind people of what sacrifices were made on 9-11-01

My question is - is this tribute / tradition too much a "look at me" rather than a "Never Forget"

In years past I have gotten positive comments from co-workers but I'm beginning to have my doubts. I want the opinions of you - my brothers & sisters.

What do you think I should do tomorrow? Dress normal & remember the fallen in my heart - or wear the uniform and remind anyone I can what the terms Brotherhood & sacrifice really mean?

Weigh in ASAP as I'll be leaving for work at 07:00 EST - sorry for the short notice but it just hit me as I was cleaning my uniform to wear.

Stephen...

Dress normally as you would any day of the week.
Observe a moment of silence when the planes hit and the towers fell.

Stephen,

I am in a very similar situation, I gotta go with Gonzo – dress regular.
However, I would (and do) keep a small print of the Bergen Record’s Flag Raising photo and a small American flag on my desk, every day, (amongst my personal items) as a remembrance.
