Small but stood out to me:

NOTHING via Google images.

NOTHING on Yahoo.

NOTHING mentioned on any forum I am a member of INCLUDING this one. 

Stands out because they USED to. We lost a family member and 3 good friends. Apparently CORPORATE AMERICA doesn't give a ****** (because that is who is behind all the things I mentioned).

If we allow society to forget, it WILL happen again. History has proven this. How sad.

@FiddleDeeDee   I started a thread this morning and then @goldensrbest  also started a thread.

I also mentioned today on the ShowMe thread.

I'm sorry for your loss but many posters here are remembering and sharing on this forum.

I've seen coverage on TV, online, and here.

Just because there hasn't been a lot of talk here, doesn't mean people are ignoring this anniversary.  I saw something on my morning local news, some coverage in New York on the noon news, and some friends and I discussed on Facebook this morning.

Not everyone shares everything here.

Maybe it is a statement by Qvc....they certainly don't have an issue with mentioning "the virus" or the "new normal" and they love selling masks!!

@GoneButNotForgotten 

I’m not looking but it was mentioned on the news this morning as I was getting ready for work and I have received several emails about it. I don’t for a second the anyone has forgotten what happened on this date.

I think one of the issues that keeps the pain going is that 911 has never been satisfactorily resolved. The War on Terror hasn't ended. The trauma is still active.

We still honor and remember the attack on Pearl Harbor as "a date which will live in infamy." But there was a resolution when the Allied Forces won WWII.

The pain of 911 is still fresh for so many, particularly on the East Coast (but not limited to there).

If people don't see mention or coverage, I don't think they're looking very carefully.

I live in the metropolitan area and when that horrific day happened I was working at my school across the river from Manhattan and witnessed the nightmare  I will never forget the terror, the tears and the rush of fear which went through me.  The days and weeks following the disaster at the Twin Towers, Pentagon and the plane crash at Penn. filled the airways and there wasn't a day that went by I didn't cry.

I will never forget and for years I have heard the names of those who died announced by family members at the site at NY.  I feel bad this couldn't be done this year but many networks have reflected and remembered this day.  

To all of those who lost someone, to all of those who went through such a difficult time in our lives, we will always remember. We take comfort that time heals the pain but we never will forget all those who lost their lives, they will always be a part of us.

I've seen very little here on the West Coast. Much of the programming came on in the early a.m. hours here so I missed much.

I have recorded a lot of programming on NatGeo (197 on Dish here in my area of WA state).

I have seen bits and pieces on CNN.

Lots of coverage everywhere for the 19th anniversary.  I ran to the library real quick during lunch and out on our city square tons of people holding up the American Flag.
