CNN showed footage from the memorial service at Ground Zero, the freedom march in D.C. and the service in Pennsylvania. And there are a bunch of NYPD and Fire Dept people in NO, and they had their own ceremony. That was also mentioned on CNN. It took about 5 minutes away from the Katrina focus. I think about it every 9/11, and still get tears in my eyes when they talk about it. I don't think much about Pearl Harbor, but I know my mom does, as she was alive at that time. I think its sad that there isn't more done, but I think this was just "year 4" which is far enough away to settle down on the ceremonies, but not one of the "big" anniversarys, like 5, 10, 20, etc years. We will see a resurgence of memories on the big anniversaries. I still go back to how I felt after 9/11, and even as a kid after the Challenger exploded, and really how I feel now...the News shows SO much of it, that it gets overwhelming. Sometimes its better if the media just moves on. Maybe it's a good sign that 5 minutes on the ceremonies for 9/11 is all they showed.
