I remember EXACTLY what I was doing and where I was when it happened. I was working,and I remember being full of fear that they were gonna hit TVA, because my son's daycare wasn't that far down the road from it. I remember seeing the second plane hit on tv. I have all the newspapers from that day and a few after as well.

um anytime someone use three planes as missiles for a terroist attack, i think that is going to take awhile to get over. besides, things like this should never be forgotten lest we all become complacent

actually you would.  Its not like you are going to forget that your loved one died just because people don't talk about it anymore.  I think those people need to see that the Nation remembers and still supports them.  hasn't forgot why their loved one was taken from them.  Its also dangerous to forget  If you forget the lessons history teaches you, they are very likely to happen again. 

People just forgetting about 911 made them stop questioning why this actually happened.  Is it because all Muslims hate "Christians" ( lol, as if the majority of the US is even Christian)  And these "radical Muslims" just ignored all of Europe which is much closer to them ( including the Vatican) to come fuck us just because we are so super special ( you can tell this is bull shit because its riddled with American arrogance) No, its because of our long standing presence in the middle east and the Arabian Peninsula to be more exact.  Maybe remembering would be a good way to get people to challenge their government to change these things.

It goes further than just the terrorist attacks now.  The day is about remembering the bravery of the law enforcement, EMT's, firefighters, etc, victims and families of the attack, and now soldiers that have died in Iraq as a result of the attacks.  There are EMT's all over campus today talking to students, we have a blood drive, care packages for troops.  It may be nothing new to countless countries who deal with terrorism every day but for us it was a wakeup call.  Many people deserve to be remembered for their bravery and sacrifice, willing or not.

very good post imho. but it seems as 9 11 is abused as some myth or clichee that creates patriotism and a dichotomous view on the world. instead of searching for complex answers and seeing 9 11 as a progress, it is seen as a sudden event without context.

that is just my cognition of the mainstream media.

but i heard obama and mccain were at ground zero this day? the term "event" fits pretty good then.

yet 9 11 for me shows how there is no way to bargain with fundamentalists/islamists/islamofascists/islamoantisemitsts etc. etc. it seems not to work like that. no rationality.
