Just because you didn't see a plethora of messages splattered all over a public forum does not mean that people did not remember or care. Not everyone "mourns" by wearing a flag pin, attending ceremonies, and declaring their "patriotism". For me, the most public displays feel the most hollow. If that's what you choose to do, then by all means do so.
I purposely kept away from the tv, radio, and news outlets today. Does that make me a bad American, or just an apethetic human being?
Let's not put expectations on how people should act, whether it's the day something happens, or 20 years later.
