I wonder if September 11th will ever--in my lifetime--be once more just a normal day. I mean, even after sixty-some years, there is the awareness every December that the seventh is a day of terrible remembrance. Memories will fade in time, of course. There may have been a time when the anniversaries of Civil War battles were fresh in the public consciousness but now they are faded into scrapbook keepsakes as the last people to have ever known a Civil War veteran age and pass on.
