I don\u2019t even remember it, I was 4 when it happened. A lot of us have kids of our own now, and it\u2019s likely that they won\u2019t even be taught about 9\/11 in history classes like I was, except as a precursory event to a larger Middle East conflict that dominated Bush\u2019s second term. If you lost loved ones or lived in New York or DC, or worked for the government at the time, then yeah. Mourn. Memorialize. Do whatever you gotta do. But everyone else moved on. It doesn\u2019t need to be a federal holiday."}
