Candice, It is my strong hope that people will not forget and that they do continue to live life with the conviction that those first months afterwards gave them.
But... time does fade memories, I think, and it just may be too optimistic to believe that people won't get caught up again in the details of their own lives and forget the bigger picture (that is human nature, I fear). For example, how many people still remember even the date that the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima? Let alone take time out of their day to think on it?
Sorry, I don't mean to be depressing!
Thank you, Dorothy, for starting this thread so that we can all be reminded of just how precious life is. And how important the ideals of freedom and liberty as given in the Constitution really are. And we can remember all those who have fought to protect those ideals, and renew our will to keep them protected from anyone who would try to take them away.
