(18,497 posts)Graduating HS seniors will within a couple of years have absolutely NO personal memories of that day.
Even seniors graduating this year were only about 6 yrs old that day.
To a growing number of adults, the NY Skyline will have always looked like that.
In that way...it will fade in time. Of course it will.
Remember the Alamo!
Remember the Maine!
Remember Pearl Harbor!
In time, all who could remember are memories. And then not even memories. Just stories.
But none of us alive when that happened will ever forget. I know I am still shaken when I see a movie that features a shot of the NY skyline I remember.
But, this maudlin focus on 9/11 and that we are expected to be in griefcasm and murderous rage...forever and ever.
Disgusting.
How long after Pearl Harbor was that monument built? Because that is just simple and profound.
