It'll be commemorated for a long time, I'm sure. "America" is not of one mind, of course and I think that may be a part of the lasting power of 9/11: it feels like something that happened to everybody in America. In a country as varied and piecemeal as America, experiences like that-- genuinely unifying experiences, experiences that were not constructed to promote unity-- are rare.
