Another year passes as America remembers that solemn day 7 years ago.
On that day, I sat in an Arlington, Va. high school, located just 10 miles from the Pentagon. I remember how the sky was such a clear blue that day, how it was a bit chilly that morning. And, of course, I remember the shock of it all. The television on in every classroom. The frantic call to my father who was in downtown D.C.
I remember going to bed that night with the realization that the world was forever changed.
I remember those events so clearly, as do many other Americans, and yet, as we continue to move toward the future, the press coverage of the anniversary events decrease.
While The Washington Post had excellent coverage of the Pentagon Memorial opening today, coverage across the board by major networks was minimal, perhaps a little more prominent than last year but only because of the presidential race.
