Sadly, with the passing of so many WWII veterans--and those who lived through that war--much of the memory of it will be lost, and the history books "revised" so that the great heroism and partiotic spirit that reigned during that era will also be downplayed--and eventually even forgotten.

Those dates DO need to remembered--but I'm afraid there will be fewer and fewer commemorations of the anniversaries of Pearl Harbor, D-Day, and VE and VJ days--but NOT fewer commemorations of the anniversaries of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki! :<(

I will give you an example os what is being forgotten.

When students ask my age, I have always said that I was born four days after Pearl Harbor. Last year, a student asked 'What is Pearl Harbor?'.
