+100. Never forget that we live in a great country that protects us and allows us to have more freedom than any other time in our history.

Say thank you to a police officer or fireman today who, in all likelihood, lost a friend or co-worker on 9-11.

Bump!

Where were you today 14 years ago.....Such vivid memories....sadness...sorrow....despair....Yet today most seem to have forgotten and moved on. Who would have thought that it was possible to move on from such a tragedy. Being jewish we remember the Beis Hamikdash year after year....because we take the time to focus on it...

Pretty much how the vast majority of people don't even have an idea what December 7th is...

Human nature I suppose.

Its the day before December 8th and the day after December 6th.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Your average Yeshivah Bochur under 20 has AT BEST fuzzy memories. The Shiur Alef Mesivta Bochurim weren't even born yet...

Being alive and old enough to understand as it is happening is totally different than something that happened before you were born.

I don't think anyone ~25 or older will ever forget 9/11 or where they were that day.

Who remembers the helicopter crash in the Grand Canyon a month earlier? I personally know one of the couples (Daskal, the one that the wife "survived"), a few people were late to work in the Twin Towers because they had a Shloshim Seuda the night before

I think there is a whole book of miracle stories of why people weren't there.


I agree with Dan I could never forget when I found out, was totally surreal, and I wasn't even in NY.

An uncle of mine was there and he said everyone was just standing and staring, he screamed that everyone should run, and people did, then they collapsed and people that ran were saved. It was cool when I heard the exact same story in a book, but it was someone that was staring and he said he didn't move until someone said run...

Absolutely not true. Pretty much everyone who was alive for it remembers. The fact that it was followed up with US involvement in WWII certainly helped cement it in the collective US memory, something that's less true of 9/11.

He's talking about your average American, not those who were alive then.

Also 9/11 was followed by US involvement in Irag and Afghanistan. And it happened in NYC instead of HI and to civilians instead of military. Don't see why it's any less cemented.

I had actually typed something out addressing that possibility, and then erased it. I don't see why you would want or expect the date 9/11 to be remembered by everyone in each subsequent generation. Some people will always be more interested in history than others, but after the generation in which the event occurs, that's exactly what it is - history.

I hope you're joking about the second point. WWII affected a much greater percentage of the US population, in much more significant ways, than anything that followed 9/11. I'm not saying that 9/11 was any more or less impactful and important than 12/7, but there's a huge difference in the way the fallout/aftermath played out between the two.
