All of our grandparents remember where they were when Pearl Harbor was bombed, our parents remember where they were the day Kennedy was shot...everyone here remembers where they were when 9/11 happened. I wonder how long before this day falls to the wayside. Not necessarilly on a personal basis, but on a national kind of basis. 5 years after we pulled out of Vietnam or after WW2 ended classrooms nation wide were saying "5 years later, where are we now and how are we doing." Much like we are today. But all of those dates have fallen away. I wonder how long this one will stick with us? Regardless, I hope this is the one and only milestone remembrance in our lifetimes.
Interesting article I read a week or so ago about the effects of 9/11. The authors argues that nothing really has changed since 9/11 with regard to the way Americans lead their lives. I'm not too sure that 9/11 has affected my life other than that it keeps a few of my friends employed.
