Another day of the year
As I sat in my room and read the newspapers on Sept. 11, 2003, a very strange thought flashed through my head. While I viewed the pictures of commemorative events and read the stories of memorial services, I wondered, "When will September 11 be a date on the calendar? When will it slip far enough away from our minds to establish its place in our day planners and Palm Pilots?" Gregg Zoroya and Rick Hampson of USA Today were correct in their Sept. 12 article when they said, "Two years disappeared in an instant ... Sept. 11, 2003 felt like Sept. 11, 2001." Indeed, when I attended AU's brief wreath-laying ceremony and heard Amazing Grace played in tribute to those who died, the two years between the attacks and now disappeared. September 11 will always live in our hearts because of what we lost and struggle to gain. My question is when it will leave the forefront of our minds.
