i think it's less about the grieving and more about the memory of a nation being reborn... if you were 7 you probably don't remember very much as you said. i was thirteen and i remember exactly where i was what i was doing and everything. the thing that got me truly was the lives lost and what a terrible tragedy it was but also the after effect of it... it was like being thrown back into the 50s where flags were everywhere neighbors who never spoke before are now sharing a dinner with eachother 4th of july that year was less of a cookout and more of a symbol of our freedom not only as a country but to be alive and not under oppression and pain and suffering.. before you only heard talk about America and the great things this country had to offer in school. afterward everyone talked about it it was truly humbling to see our nation thrive as one again but as all great things that faded and we are back to being one nation but seperate people... i think 9/11 is more of a memorial type day as opposed to a grieving day now at least for me, i always remember exactly what i did from begin to end of that day and then i think of seeing love in and for a nation again and it turns into more of a celebratory feeling... though i may not agree with everything that goes on within this country government or otherwise i still love it and things like that just make me love it and want to be a part of it even more... but thats just my thought... sorry for all the grammar mistakes and spelling errors
