9 11 remembrance quotesFor many of the people that were affected in some way by the 9/11 tragedy, the date September 11th is a day of mourning and remembrance. It was this day back in 2001 that Americans watched as a plane struck the World Trade Center. And according to newmajority.com, the tragedy of 9/11 has brought a permanent bond, to many of those that were affected. Gordon Haberman lost his daughter at the WTC and says that it will always be a day of remembrance for him.
A lot of former officials have said that they will never forget that day and I’m sure that goes for many people that lost loved ones in the attack.

I don't mean that disrespectfully but with the passage of time, it's natural that once indelible dates lose their power. There will be observances and remembrances, of course, but I don't see them ringing true for us the way they did earlier in the decade. I wonder if we aren't at a place where we feel obligated to say something because it's time to say something, and then we struggle a bit as we ask ourselves exactly what else there is to say that hasn't already been said.
