I respectfully disagree.
I was just thinking the other day how Pearl Harbor has been, to a certain degree, forgotten. Not by those who witnessed that terrible event, but for
those born afterwards.
I'm a teacher and I work with young children (age 10ish). Although they've heard of 9-11 from parents and teachers, they weren't a part of it like
we were. I mean, I remember being glued to my television, horrified and frightened that day. Experiencing that and its aftermath is something we
won't forget, to be sure. But as time moves on, such events get relegated to the past.....and forgotten. Not by us, but by our descendants.
After all, how many of us pause during the anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg? Just for an example.
I do understand your point, and it is a good one. But I think we need to keep this event alive, somehow, in our collective conscious.
I didn't watch the video, though. A horrible day, and one I'd rather not re-view at the moment.
