We are safer, but not safe enough. In the decade since the 9/11 attacks, the government has taken giant steps to protect the nation from terrorists, spending eye-popping sums to smarten up the federal bureaucracy, hunt down enemies, strengthen airline security, secure U.S. borders, reshape America's image and more. But the effort remains a work in progress, and in some cases a work stalled. The bipartisan 9/11 Commission in 2004 laid out a 585-page road map to create an America that is "safer, stronger, wiser." Many of the commission's recommendations are now reality. But in some cases, results haven't lived up to expectations. And other proposals still are just that, ideas awaiting action.

Handing off the wars and the swollen anti-terrorism apparatus to his successor, Bush said in his final White House address in 2009 that "most Americans were able to return to life much as it had been before 9/11." He quickly added: "I never did."

The brigade was the last to deploy as part of President Obama's 30,000 troop surge. The attacks that spawned two wars have receded from daily lives of most Americans, but not for the soldiers who have fought or for those in government who know there will be hell to pay if the nation is ever caught so off guard again.

The killing of Osama bin Laden on May 1 was a celebratory moment across the country but just that, a moment. Ten years from now, most are not likely to remember where they were and what they were doing on 5/1. Ten years after 9/11, everyone old enough remembers almost everything.
