I think your percieved apathy of the "younger" generation in these war remembrances is probably more to do with the passage of time, a natural historical blurring of the sacrifices given by now-not-so immediate family.

Also, WW1 is still taught in some curriculums but with added context of the suffering of all sides, not just an allied POV, which is a good thing. Remembering the sacrifices of both allied and enemy forces is becoming more of a personal thing with time.
