As Time Goes On

On this day 7 years ago, all of our lives changed forever. Last year my school had a moment of silence for all of the souls lost on 9/11. This year nothing. I think that it is safe to say that 9/11 will soon be thought of the same way Pearl Harbor is thought of. Only the people of that generation remember the fateful day on December 7, 1941, and now my generation, the ones whose lives were changed on 9/11, now seem to put that event on the book self. Sure there will be remembrances on the 10th anniversary, 20th, and so on. That is wrong, just like on 12/7 we should remember our entrance into WWII, on 9/11 we should remember the first lives to perish in “The War on Terror”.

It is my hope that ALL of you thought for a moment about the events that have impacted our lives, and have had a moment of silence for all of those who have lost theirs.
