Does anyone still remember the MLK assassination?
Does anyone still remember the moon landing?
Does anyone still remember when the Berlin Wall fell?
Need I go on? We haven't forgotten history. Why is September 11th the only major event that gets questioned in this way? For many that ask questions like the one you did, it is with a desire to cause fear. With that fear, they then push a political agenda. I don't know you, and I'm not accusing you of these motives. I would be curious why you asked the question.

@RosaMarie I was struck by the fact that 9/11 occurred nearly 21 years ago --the age many people graduate college and that those graduates have no personal recollection of the event. 🇺🇸

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays True for that and the vast majority of historical events. Also true for rotary phones. Why that one event in particular? Especially since the anniversaries for the battle of Midway, D-day, and the German surrender just past.
@RosaMarie Just popped into my head this morning. Today is June 7. Maybe I was thinking of FDR, "Yesterday December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy . . . "

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays Fair. It's so often made political that it always comes across that way no matter the intent. Sorry for my bias.
@RosaMarie I knew where you were coming from. I'm intuitive! 👍 🇺🇸
