There isn't an official Firefighter Day yet, but here is a link to a website that you can go to and register a vote on a petition for an official day to be set aside for Firefighters that is being sent to congress ; ]

To: United States Congress,

Firefighters from all over have come to the aid and rescue of the

tragedy in New York and Washington DC Many firefighters have lost

their lives to save someone else's. The truth of the matter is they do

this every single day. They truly are heroes.

I know many of us feel the same as I do - - helpless, especially those

of us who live far from NY and DC. We all want to do something, show our

appreciation, our support. I think we can...

In honor of the bravery, courage and determination of American

firefighters, there should be a day in our nation to celebrate and

appreciate their hardwork and never ending passion for saving lives.

It is our hope, that the Congress of the United States of America will set aside a Nation Firefighter's Day so that we may recognize these brave men and women that serve this country.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

The attacks had major global political ramifications. They were denounced by mainstream media and governments worldwide, with the headline of France's Le Monde newspaper summing up the international mood of sympathy: "We Are All Americans" (Nous sommes tous Américains).[111] The most publicized exception was that some Palestinians celebrated jubilantly upon hearing about 9/11.[112] There was a report by a journalist about public demonstrations of enthusiasm for the attacks conducted by Chinese students in Beijing, China during the night after the attacks. Although the journalist was not in China on the day of 9/11, he reported the event on the 5th anniversary of 9/11 based on accounts he had learned from his sources.[113] Leaders in most Middle Eastern countries, including Afghanistan, condemned the attacks. Iraq was a notable exception, with an immediate official statement that "the American cowboys are reaping the fruit of their crimes against humanity."[114]
