Last year on the tenth anniversary, there were shows all over the airwaves to remember and commemorate the event. This year? MSNBC and the MLB Network were the only channels I could find this AM doing anything.

It's painful to remember, but more painful to think we would not.

There does seem to be a lack of media coverage compared to last year - I've even heard other people mention it in passing.

Local Govt buildings have their flags at half-staff so, it's not forgotten yet...

Here as well.

Last night we, as a family, remembered.

Those lost can best be remembered by our resolve to never let it happen again.

We got ours lowered. Thing is..most holidays they turn into profit and now the country is in election time...politics will take over and we will hear both sides go "aw lest we forget 9/11.....vote Republican/Democrat" blah blah

Thanks for posting Ken! I wish America still had the same level of patriotism now as we did right after the 9/11 events.

discovery channel and NGC also had specials on all day. I don't think anyone that was older then 20 and pays attention to what happens will ever forget.
