I agree Scott. America's pride has grown into a thought that since we are the USA we are automatically better than every other country, and our complacency is starting to catch up to us as other countries are now surpassing us in many areas. I am thankful I live here and wouldn't change that, but as a country we need to step up (starting with our govt.) and become world leaders in other areas besides our military.
We should never forget about this, but it means nothing to my kids who weren't alive at the time (no matter how you explain it's importance), and as big a deal as it was to us, it will never mean much to those who didn't experience it. With today's media coverage I'm sure kids just view it as another tragedy, in a world full of bombings, wife beatings, and riots.
