[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe in history but I have too much to do with content to spend a day reminiscing about a day the kids weren’t alive for and do not care about. [/quote]

No first PP, but quoted PP do you spend a lot of time thinking about Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7? I'd argue that day was at least as significant, possibly moreso (would have never dropped atomic bombs without it), but Gen X and beyond barely think about it. I had a friend who mentioned it every year in college and we all thought it was one of her adorable quirks.[/quote]

My grandparents were children during the Depression,  during World War II, and had my mother a few years after the war ended. As a child I heard a lot more about the Depression than I ever heard about Pearl Harbor.

Not every historical event affects families/people the same way.[/quote]

I mean the thing about 9/11 that caused it to stick in everyone's mind is because we watched it slowly unfold on television.  Most things like this are basically over by the time you learn about them.  This one wasn't.[/quote]

True, but the number of people who witnessed it is decreasing, so less attention will be paid each year.[/quote]
