Feels like yesterday for me ( l am 49 ) but we have an entire generation of millenials coming up now who will be voting for the first time in this election who feel no connection with 9/11.

Of all things, flipped on NPR earlier today.  They played interviews of millennials.  Most really had no recollection of 9/11.  And they weren't taught about the cause or source of that horrific day.

The Freshmen in HS this year will be the first group where 9/11 is truly taught as a history lesson and not a current event.

They weren't born when it happened.
