Pearl Harbor Day...

Pearl Harbor Day...  75 years ago today the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.  Over 2,000 Americans were killed, and more than 1,000 wounded.  The attack led directly to the American entry into WWII, both in Europe and in the Pacific.

A few days ago I read that amongst Americans under 40 years old, less than one in ten can identify the nations that were the attacker and defender in the attack on Pearl Harbor.  Less than half of those could place the event in the correct century, and only half of those in the correct decade.  Sometimes I'm a bit relieved to know I won't be around when that crowd is in control...
