My daughter's school, Norwich University, honors the victims of September 11th by placing one flag for each victim in the Upper Parade grounds and then stands sentries and take turns doing guard walks for 24 hours. The ceremonies end with the entire Corps of Cadets turning out last night for the shadow taps ceremony.
The picture below the piper was taken by a cadet of the field of flags.

The day might be becoming less and less prevalent in our minds, though no less significant in our hearts.
Local events in Comal County signaled that the day remains important.
