Just 20 percent of those surveyed say they close their businesses on all national holidays, while 76 percent don't. 25 percent would be willing to assume the cost of closing their businesses for the day to commemorate the unprecedented terror attacks, but 71 percent are unwilling to lose money on another national holiday." - This is sad. I agree that you need to make money to succeed in small business. But it looks as if small business owners have forgotten that there is more to life then making money. It should not be such a burden to have a day of peace and remembrance for one of the most terrible days of our generation. This day changed many lives and I would support a national holiday. -ed. --------

  • Preparing Makes Business Sense.

    Preparing Makes Business Sense. "How quickly your company can get back to business after a terrorist attack or tornado, a fire or flood often depends on emergency planning done today. While the Department of Homeland Security is working hard to prevent terrorist attacks, the lessons of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks demonstrate the importance of being prepared. When you also consider that the number of declared major disasters nearly doubled in the 1990's compared to the previous decade, preparedness becomes an even more critical issue. Though each
