I read a couple more of the soldier’s blogs, but they were definitely different from the last time I viewed the blog. The coming and passing of the anniversary of 9/11 brought out a different tone. The blogs I read were concerned with 9/11. It is kind of funny because that day came and passed and I did not really think that much of it. Nobody around me mentioned much of it either. In the blogs though, the soldiers seemed to be more impacted by this date. I think because they are so often surrounded by death that such an event hits home more.
Someone I know reminded me of Pearl Harbor. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and thousands died F.D.R. said that it was a day that would never be forgotten, but today few remember that event when December 7 passes. If this is true for 9/11, then soon we will stop even realizing that the eleventh of September had any special meaning. The soldier in this blog seemed to think that we should remember, and maybe we should.

I do not think that we will ever stop acknowledging the tragedy 9/11, nor will we ever forget, but one thing that never changes is the fact that time heals all wounds.
