Future generations
Jim Geraghty, National Review
...The Post has a story about children who were born after 9/11, who now learn about the events in school. Its rather unbelievable to think there are little moppets walking around, who dont have any memories of that day, who didnt find themselves stunned, horrified, angry, who don't find those three numbers trigger a wave of memories almost every time.
Im a dad now two years and two days ago today and I felt great relief upon learning that the second week of September would mark more than 9/11; I have a happy memory, and a celebration with a happy boy, for the rest of my life. He isnt aware of the dates significance, yet, obviously, and I dread that day. Innocence is so rare and so precious that you want to put it in a museum under secure glass. And the day that he asks, where do you begin?
