Trying To Shake 9/11 Memories

It is a day that Rick Smith has been trying to forget for nine years. “It’s a common thing at this time of year. I don’t sleep very well,” said Smith, a 41-year-old technology and media product manager. Smith didn’t lose any family or friends that day, but the horrific carnage that he witnessed near the World Trade Center that morning left him with hidden wounds. He saw people falling to their deaths that day. “In terms of some of the nightmares I have, that’s actually one of the things I re-live a lot,” said Smith, who remembers the sound of the explosions and the smell of the fires like it was yesterday. “I don’t think I’ve ever smelled that anywhere else,” he said/Katy Moeller, Idaho Statesman.

Question: Do you think Americans today have as much respect and remembrance for 9/11 as our parents/grandparents generation did for Dec. 7 (Pearl Harbor Day)?
