[quote=Anonymous]I noticed this today, as well. I had to scroll way down on the NYT main page to see any mention of 9/11 or the ceremony in NYC. Each year it does seem to get more distant. My kids (teen and tween) really don't fully understand it and to them it sounds like something out of a movie.

My husband and I spent a long w/e in NYC this past summer and visited the 9/11 museum (we've been to the memorial multiple times just never the museum).  At first I didn't want to because I felt like I had read and seen everything I needed to about 9/11 and could think a ton of other things to do in NYC other than the museum, but he really wanted to see it and I am so glad we did.  We took a guided tour of the main museum area and learned how the museum was built right into bedrock and the footprints of the buildings.  The bases for each of the steel beams that held up the towers are still there, embedded in concrete as they were set in the 1970s. It feels more like an archeology site than a museum and yes it is hallowed ground and every single visitor there treated as such.  It was a moving experience--definitely go if you can. [/quote]
