[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We talked about 9/11 at home.  And they talked about it at our HS, including a moment of silence in the announcements. Our home conversation was really fulsome.  Going into the whys of the attack and a lot of questions of what it felt like for us as our lived experience.

I was thinking about the earlier posters Pearl Harbor analogy, and I think the difference, at least for me, was my parents were born after Pearl Harbor so they had no lived experience to share.  I know Pearl Harbor day is 12/10 the same way I know which day is Christmas.  But I don’t wake up on 12/10 like I do 9/11 reliving the day each year.  There is a solemness to each of my 9/11s that’s etched into my soul because we lived it. [/quote]

Isn’t Pearl Harbor Day 12/7?[/quote]
Yes.  And, like 9/11 people remembered it clearly because their lives changed as a result.  Big change.  Teens graduating from high school went to war instead of college or work.
Women went to work in factories.  Ration cards, etc.  No metal toys-no new bikes, etc. for children.[/quote]
