We will never forget.
A day that will live in infamy.
Forever is a long time. How long will it be, I wonder, before the most recent unprovoked, surprise attack on American soil is as distant a memory as the one before?
I usually judge society's remembrance of an event by how often it is mentioned in the comic strips. Back in 2006, BC and Mallard Fillmore were among the few that commemorated the day. Today, I found none at all.
But a 70 year anniversary deserves recognition: Today is, and will always be, Pearl Harbor Day.
Nice post. We're now at the point--at least I am--of people who only remember it as history (but know personally how important it was to those who lived through it) teaching it to people who will only ever know it as history. "9/11" in 2071.
