There are precious few headlines devoted to it today. People are "moving on." And the White House designated it a "Day of Service," not a day to remember (of course, now it's a "Day of Remembrance and Service." I'm sure that had nothing to do with the backlash...). Seems the Left, the White House included, just wants to forget it ever happened.

But I can't. I won't. On this day each year, I will remember. Every sunny, cool, breezy morning as I drive in a car, I will remember. Whenever I hear news of our troops in Afghanistan, I will remember. At odd moments, out of the blue, I will remember.
