I would be disappointed too. It is a shame how people forget something like that already.
On the other hand, I was quite annoyed when I received a bulletin on MySpace from one of my friends a few weeks ago. It was basically a petition stating that 9/11 should be some sort of national holiday where we all don't go to school or work. To me, that is exploiting a national tragedy as a way to be lazy.
I was almost tempted to ask in response why we don't get December 7 or April 19 off. Both days were national tragedies where many innocent lives were lost. Those days are remembered just as 9/11 will be, but we don't need to have a day off school to remember them. Instead, I feel we should spend time in school learning about why these dates are important to our history. (In case some of you don't know which dates I am referring to or just have no clue about Amerian history, December 7, 1941 was the day Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese where 2,403 people died and April 19, 1995 was the day the Alfred P Murrah Federal Building was bombed in Oklahoma City by Timothy McVeigh where 168 people died. Until 9/11, it was the deadliest terrorist attack on domestic soil and commited by an American citizen none the less.)
I just find it disturbing that 65 years after Pearl Harbor and most Americans don't have a clue what happened untiil some news snippet crosses the TV. Perhaps more disturbing is the fact that 9/11 will suffer the same fate one day...
I believe that September 11th should be a national day of Rememberence, not a holiday. Just like we have Rememberence Day here (not sure what you have there but I know you have something similar) you can have a holiday it that sense that no one gets off, but it rather just a day of mourning.
