I sometimes think people have forgotten that we have not forgotten.
While I knew it was the 70th Anniversary of Pearl Harbor, its not like it didn't get mentioned on the news or radio. Even so, what more can be said about it? Someone please define "remember". I suspect more remember than you know.
Every December 7th its the same thread here.
Heck, Nobody is crying out "Remember the Maine!" every February 15 (and be honest, how many of you knew that date?). One could argue that the Spanish American War set the stage for the Pacific half of World war II. By conquering Spanish held islands in the Southeast Pacific, the US would have a strong hold near Asia. At the time, Teddy Roosevelt encouraged Japan to be more imperialistic, with the hopes that the US could trade freely anywhere Japan conquered.
