“A 9/11 remembrance, overshadowed” - Scott Reilly
I believe the 9/11 remembrance was not overshadowed this year and never
will be. At Virginia Tech, the students were still asked to try and take a
moment of silence during the day to remember the victims of the attack. When I
logged on Facebook that day and scrolled through the newsfeed, I only read “Remember
9/11” and “God Bless America” statuses. An extravagant, organized remembrance
ceremony doesn’t have to be conducted every year at every memorial in order to commemorate
the tragedy and the victims. Annually, as a country we only have to remember
the tragedy in our hearts and pray for the victims and their families on 9/11.
Reilly claims that 9/11 was overshadowed this year because there was no
ceremony at the community memorial in Rockville, Maryland. But 9/11 will never
be overshadowed because that memorial will always stand in the park in
Rockville for people to see and remember the tragedy every day.
