9/11

It's so obvious, but it bears repeating. When I grew up, my parents used to tell me about world events they remembered. The biggest deal, by far, to both of them, was the Kennedy assassination. I never felt like anything historical had happened while I was alive - even the Berlin Wall coming down, it was a big deal, but at the same time, not that big a deal to my life. My dad had a somewhat similar sentitment towards the Cuban Missle Crisis. Despite how close we came, at the time, he didn't feel the way he maybe should have.

9/11 is that day for our entire generation.

Worth reading.

True.
