"Remember September 11th" is like "Remember Pearl Harbor:"

The point is not tears and yellow ribbons, it is to recall the events to renew the fury before it fades and resolve weakens, as it tends to do in our free and generous country.

I agree with Hitchens. I have come to loathe the hand wringing, incessant talk of coping and therapy by my old neighbors in NYC, and a procession of articles and specials which, while honoring the dead and serving as a solemn reminder of our dangers, inexorably includes a healthy dose of celebration of victimhood, protracted angst, and ultimately feed the desire to feel sorry for ourselves.

One thing we don't need to to feel sorry for ourselves.

I lived 1/3 a mile from WTC and showed up to work the next day (unlike about 90% of my coworkers.) I did my work, took care of my department single handedly, and did what I had to do. I did it again on Thursday the 13th. My firm announced a policy of Two Free Personal Days Off to get things in order - the catch: they had to be used that week. My mamma didn't raise a fool, and my coworkers had all taken the week off unnanounced, so I took Friday off, but I was bored.

The Lesson: Negative feelings and emotions feed themselves. Don't feed this process.

"Remember September 11th" is like "Remember Pearl Harbor:"

So how was Pearl Harbor commemorated on December 7th, 1943?
