A year has passed since the September 11th attacks in New York. The debris is gone, and there are no reminders left of the worst attack in American history. It has been a year and people still feel the shock and anger they did when the twin towers collapsed, but with good reason. Our country was violated on September 11th. Our religious freedom, equality, and economic opportunity was attacked on that day.
             In its anniversary a large portion of television programming and news coverage is devoted to the attacks. When the subject is brought up in school classmates groan thinking," Not again..." It has just been a year since the greatest loss of lives on American soil since the Civil War and people are already tired of hearing about it. I am not saying that people should always have it on their mind, that they should let it hold them back from living their lives, but I do not think that people should brush that off as some nuisance that changes their regularly scheduled programming. It has to be talked about, it's still on the news because were killed and some of our freedom was taken and has still not been given back. A quote from last year's December issue comes to mind when I think of the indifference people have for the attacks,""
             However my biggest concern is that if people feel this kind of apathy a year after September 11th I wonder how much it will be remembered in years to come.
             In the year since the attacks our country did something that terrorist did not expect, we survived. We were faced with a crisis that was intended to attack a symbol of American economy and we were able to move on. And even though remembering seems hard for many different reasons, the day we never saw coming, we should never forget.
