Remind Me Please.......

I don't remember what kinds of rememberances were held on the First Anniversary of 9/11. Or the Second Anniversary. Or the Third Anniversary. Or the Fourth Anniversary.

WHY, oh WHY is this THE year to REMEMBER? Could it poosibly be the mid-term elections? The Third Anniversary would have been during the 2004 Presidential Election. I truthfully don't remember the bullshit meter being this high. I do remember the "Terra Alerts" being raised for the First Anniversary, but that is about it.

Help anyone?

1. It is the 5th Anniversary

and yes they have had remembrances and ceremonies every year since the attack.

2. I know that, but I mean to this scale.

3. The first anniversary...

...they read all the names of the victims at ground zero and replayed the footage of the attacks all day long.

I remember my nephew came home from school that day (the first anniversary) looked at the tv and asked, "Is that building still burning?"

I refuse to watch anything to do with 9/11 no matter what time of year it's on. I lived through it once - don't need to do it again.

4. Probably has got

something to do with it.

Still, anniversaries divisible by 5 or 10 do tend to get extra attention.

It's not all that bad. It's a good opportunity for us to explain to the American voters how we can do it better.
