That is what we did with Pearl Harbor, remembered those who lost their lives after the war was over. We didn't cheapen it to a national lovefest.

On the 10th Anniversary I think red/white/blue should be mandatory, It's the 10th Anniversary. Happened on American soil why not red/white/blue. Really if you want to mourn IMO no games should be played but if where going to play then red/white/blue it is.
