September 11
No, we're not back. Nobody is going to read this, but I don't care. Today is the 6th anniversary of "9/11". It's been a strange one. I feel conflicted about this year for some reason. Lots of people just want to move on, don't want to see ceremonies, nobody dares wear an American flag anymore. Part of me agrees, but I think that's because forgetting is the easy way out. Pretend it didn't happen, and it's OK. But it's not OK. Thousands of people are gone. What else can we give them if not a day to remember them.

I read it, and I think you're right.
I read it too, and I hate to say this, but I saw this coming... I saw all those signs and whatnots saying, "We will never forget" and I always thought to myself, "Yeah, that sounds good in theory, but there's going to come a point when people decide they just want to move the f*ck on. And that's unfortunate."
I agree. I really didn't want to think about a lot of it all day either. I waited til I got home to think about it. That was my compromise that I could live with. We can't forget what happened.
