With all the leaks from out government the MSM knows when Bush and Cheney takes a dump, how could a secret as huge as the Government blowing up the twin towers remain a secret? that's what I tell the conspiracy loons.

Sadly I am getting use to it.

Many remember Jill, it's just that it is getting lip service from to many now and that is what is unnerving me.

What about December 7?

August 28-20?

July 1-3?

Yes, remember, but move on.  How can we forget all of the tragedies in American history?  Where is the line from writing sentimental articles to simply mentioning it in history class?

Yes, it was tragic.  But stay in the now, or forever dwell on the past.  Honor them, love them, remember them, but don't let the past dictate what you do in the present.

It's just words.  Always words.  It's what you feel and do that really matter.  Not just some dumb blog article that twenty people will read.

Remember the Maine!

CB.... You know I'm kidding, right? I agree people are more inclined to remember if the event made an impact on their lives. But to be fair it was only 7 years ago, only the people that were very young or unborn at the time would/should have an problem remembering.

that's is my point exactly! until just a few years ago till age caught up with them and they started dying off i large numbers Dec.7TH was always a day that was commemorated 60 years after the fact, that would be Dec 7TH 2001, something that happened Sept 11TH 2001 is just some vague memory, just 7 years later.

I was actually referring to the original article, and how it's only fair to remember every terrible thing that's happened in American history if we are to remember one.

As far as I go, I know I didn't appreciate the gravity of the situation when it happened.  I was walking to school with my friends when a girl came up to us and said, "Did you know a plane hit the World Trade Center?"

And then I said, "What's the World Trade Center?"

It was mentioned in school, but I was twelve.  I had no idea how serious the situation was until a couple years later.

And by the way, people DO remember and comemorate the events of September 11.  Everyone at my university got mass texts to wear red, white, and blue in memory, etc.  Just because nobody wrote an article on it doesn't mean nobody cares.

That's all I was saying.

Not to be contrary but what else has happened in America that was caused by foreign invaders that murdered 3,000 people? Dec 7Th 1941 killed 1500 Military and civilians, mostly military, not that it makes any difference in human lives.

I think it might be even more tragic that in Gettysburg we killed ourselves.  50,000 times. 50,000 lives, gone, in three days.  But nobody has moments of silence on that day.

I'm not trying to argue, sorry.  I see your point.  We should remember.  I just don't think that trite articles that people will forget in two days is the best way to remember those people who died.

Remember it?  Olympia snow does not allow us to forget "DownEasterners"!

November 22?

To be truthful, I do not remember 4/14, 7/2, or 9/6 since they were before my time.
