Today marks 17 years since the events of 9/11

[Noir]

How many here stated then, or not long after, "I'll never forget" and went along exactly with the rest of the nation on that aspect?

Now, how many here have lost sight, and perhaps HAVE forgotten those events, and those thousands of lives?

Forgetting events? No.
But forgetting emotions? Yes, and in the most part that is a healthy and inevitable outcome.

There’s also a wave of about-to-be college students who weren’t alive before 9/11, who’s emotions are about as detached as it is possible to be, that changes conversations.
