I'll definitely be booting SH4 up that night and sinking some Japs.

Great bunch of people these days though, good thing most of the imperialism is gone.

I am going to request a moment of silence at our school on monday, because we avoided it last year (i didn't) so i am proly going to make sure we do it this year.

shoot-kill-win · 12-03-08, 11:44 PM

My school did not have a moment of silence last year either.
I had at least three kids last year who had no idea what happened on Dec. 7th, and one of them thought that we attacked Japan.
I wish there was some way we could help bring about better veteran recognition/ rememberance.

That is aggravating. It is not the childrens fault but the parents and educational system.

Both of my grandpas fought in the Pacific campaign in the Marine Corps and I cannot forget their sacrifices. I will pass it down.

I will, as I always do, pull out my trusty copy of Tora! Tora! Tora!. As for schools not remembering, I think it's part of a general lack of respect for history. People never remember Santayana's proverb, and they never learn. I had three uncles who served, and two of them were at Pearl Harbor on that fateful day. I won't ever forget.

Task Force · 12-04-08, 06:43 PM

Yea, my school last year didnt do that ither. The history teacher pulled out a pic of pearl harbor and non of the other kids knew what it was.

(I did but didnt say anything)

kylesplanet · 12-04-08, 07:21 PM

What is more discouraging is these young kids love to hear these stories. My six year old nephew comes to my house every Friday night and the first thing he ask me is "Tell me about Pearl Harbor again." The lack of history being taught is really troubling.

I think I'm going to foot the bill for a private education for him. He's in kindergarden now so I'm thinking next year.

a day to remember Dec 7 1941, me being a canadian i still feel the saddness of the loss of so many of your armed forces people that day, god bless.
