Never forgot [spoiler]don't ever forget what those stupid bastards did. I remember watching that when I was 4 years old. [/spoiler]

Yeah it started in "Homeroom" for me.. then continued all day. They kept us in school trying to move on with classes until so many people were talking about it that we all were just watching the news for the rest of the day.

"It was the same date, September 11, in 1973 that the Chilean president, Salvador Allende, was overthrown by an army general, Augusto Pinochet, with the presidential palace bombarded on Pinochet’s orders. Allende died resisting Pinochet’s men and Chile, along with five other South American states, entered into a phase of tyranny and oppression. During his rule, Pinochet ordered strict measures against dissidents, especially Marxists. He was responsible for the murder of more than 3,000 Chileans, whereas his alliance with South American dictatorships such as those in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay — Operation Condor — resulted in the deaths of more than 60,000 people. The major purpose of this alliance was to root out socialist and communist influence from the region and suppress any potential opposition. The US was again the chief supporter of this alliance, providing the countries with important intelligence and technological support. In all these states citizens were abducted, murdered and extra-judicially killed to silence and curb any possible opposition. Some 200,000 Chileans went into exile to different parts of Europe. Many of them took up murder charges against Pinochet in European courts but all their efforts were in vain. The Condor alliance was initially encouraged by the CIA but that later backfired on the US as it received criticism from all sections of the media and society for supporting dictators." I'm not trying to be insensitive. I was trying to highlight that globally dates can hold different meanings to different folks. If they were to set a precedent by doing something for this date it, it brings into question what other dates they should apply significance to as Destiny will have a global player base. I'm sure Bungie would not want to offend anyone by only putting importance on dates significant to Americans.

Indeed.
