i am a police officer in NJ and work a few minutes from nyc. i worked the midnight shift on 9/11 and went over to ground zero on the 12th. I remember driving around where i work and seeing flags everywhere, storefronts, cars, houses, ect.... The intense feeling of national pride seems to have slowly died off. Many point fingers at Bush and have theories about this or that.....
Its really sad but i think many people have forgotten (some on purpose) the horror of that morning and what followed. You dont have to agree with the war on terrorism, but you should be thankful that men and women are willing to die for you to have that opinion and to protect the country which we live.
I think the idea of news coverage on September 11th would be a great idea and help everyone remember the tragedy, the people that died, the family left behind, and the men and women who faced the horror and continue to face it everyday!
