'No Day Shall Erase You From the Memory of Time,' a phrase written by the Roman poet Virgil, is displayed on a wall at the 9/11 Memorial Museum.

(BOISE, IDAHO) For much of the past 25 years, each anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks has arrived with signs and stickers reminding people to “never forget.”

I have always felt unsure about what those words mean. For those of us who were alive in 2001, forgetting the day itself is almost impossible.
