Sept 11th again.

-The number of "American"  who perished 11 years ago, in NY, DC an PA will never change, forever in our minds and hearts.  But is it not time to move on  from the huge TV gatherings, roll call, and tolling of the bell.  I can remember Pearl Harbor and  most  of almost  5 years that followed, to when VE and VJ Days occurred.  I lost relatives, neighbors in those Wars. Made a youngster grow up fast to the realities of life, if we do the hard things or take the easy way...nothing .   Ever year those events are celebrated  mostly privately, by a diminishing number.  Here is an idea, why not recongnize on Sept 11th, the ever growing head count of GI's  who surrender their lives,   so that we remain safe from foreign and domestic attack, this the eleventh year.  That list is greater in length than Sept 11 list.  Gosh we did that! Remmender during the early years on the War against Terror, the LDP stations read off a daily list of dead GIs arriving at Dove USAF base?  I got issue with that however,  it was done not necessarily for reverence, but for LDP focus groups.. .
