Dictionary.com defines anniversary as 1.the yearly recurrence of the date of a past event: the tenth anniversary of their marriage. 2. the celebration or commemoration of such a date. 3.wedding anniversary.
As you can see, the dictionary even promotes an air of celebration with the word anniversary. I have been hearing radio reports and news specials all about the 10th anniversary of 9/11/01. But I wonder if there is a better word. I am not comfortable with the connotations associated with an anniversary of such an horrific event.
