And yet when 9/11 rolls around - as it does every year - mostly what we hear about are the people that lost their lives in the Twin Towers.
What of the people on the planes? What of the people at the Pentagon? Where are their stories? Where are their pictures held up in memoriam?
And no, we haven't forgotten but we haven't exactly moved on either, have we?
