I suppose the biggest thing that saddens me now, looking back, though - and I say this without pointing fingers or placing blame because every aspect of the political spectrum has participated in it - is how that day has been made to be political. Even the concept of memorials and ceremonies on the anniversary have become political with all parties looking to gain political advantage in some way or another.
That sickens me.
I realize we all have differing perspectives of what using it for political purposes would entail.
