9/11 (sort of) Remembered

Yesterday, IU South Bend had a brief ceremony in memory of the events of 9/11. On a campus of over 7,500 students with an additional 1,500 faculty and staff, I expected a fairly large turnout. There were about 25 in attendance. I guess those events are beginning to drift further and further into history.

As I thought more about it, the college students beginning this year were only 10 or 11 when those events happened, so while they may be aware of them, they wouldn't have a "where were you" type experience to share. I imagine the next couple years will be fairly quiet in regard to remembrances then it will get more attention on the 10th year anniversary.
