Good point.
Do we remember Gettysburg? That could possibly be the bloodiest week in our history, and the fate of the Nation was decided on that battlefield. Do they even teach anything about it in school anymore?
A little off subject, but we even forget other absolute tragedies. A while back, a large company had TV ads with famous people, one being.Abraham Lincoln. It was a very humorous commercial, ole Abe hooting it up.
What if they did that same commercial with John F Kennedy instead of Lincoln? Both died in the same manner, a bullet to the head.
Time compels us to forget. There will come a time when 9-11 will be an afterthought. A hundred years from now, some celebrity will do his own "Jay Walking" segment, and ask young people "what happened on Sept 11, 2001"?..........
"Huh, huh, like, ya know, that's sooooo long ago........"
