I can top that. I was at the 9/11 site and museum a couple months ago, and there were a ton of school kids there, laughing, having a grand ole time. One kid, while watching a video of the 2nd plane hitting, commented that it was through butter.
Everyone old enough to remember that day pretty much walked through the whole place in silence or minimal talking. The kids who weren't born yet acted like it was a fun time.
This makes me sad. But also shows proper respect isn't being taught by the adults in charge of those kids. I lived in Arlington at that time. I will never forget that day.

I agree a little, but I think it's more about witnessing the event vs reading about it in a history book. They don't have that emotional attachment to that day so it's not a somber place for them.
My mom would've smacked me though if I made a similar comment in say the JFK museum or something.
