John, next year you should attend the annual 9/11 Remembrance and Candlelight Vigil on the El Curtola Overpass on Hwy 24 in Lafayette. It is a truly moving experience. For the last few years, we have had many, many children under the age of 18 attend. Even though attendance was somewhat down in year 11, the number of children attending increases each year. It is a very moving and educational experience, and I hope you can make it next year.

Careful, mentioning the attacks may offend sensitive Islamists in Benghazi and Cairo.

I wonder if 70 years from now, people will remember 9/11 the way we still remember Pearl Harbor. Hope they never forget the heroes of Flight 93.

I was born a bit more than 4 years after Pearl Harbor. Had relatives who fought in the Pacific. Yet, until I was in my teens, it might as well have been ancient history for all I cared. I suspect that is true of 9/11 for anybody less than 18 years old today.
