My initial reaction is the 9/11 is different from 11/22, but that's probably just because I remember the former and not the latter. People who remember JFK describe that day similarly - everyone remembers where they were, etc. Only difference I can think of is that 9/11 has always been known and remembered by its date. Everyone knows that JFK was assassinated, but people who weren't alive don't remember the date.
That's what I was thinking after I posted, but still no guarantees that 25 years from now it will be forgotten.Considering that when Bin Laden was killed there was a flurry of "who is this bin-laden dude?" on Twitter.
I don't think it will be forgotten, it just won't remembered the same way as people who lived through the ordeal. Like with JFK, i know what happened, but i will never know what it was like to live through it.
An assassination of a President is not like a terror attack, no matter how big it is. Of course people who are into these things will always know about it, but the average teenager in America...

Ask anyone even older than CV (or Mutty ) where they were 12/7/41 and you hear stories the same way we speak about 9/11.Even I remembered the date and I wasn't born till about 50 yrs later.
lol that was w/o google.
Personally i like to know "random facts" in case i get pulled into a game show
What day in Japan?
True, but most young people would be hard pressed to tell you the date.
I guess it boils down to how much attention you paid in school. Personally i like to know "random facts" in case i get pulled into a game show
