I think one of the reasons you don't see much mentioned about Dec 7th is all the Nissan's and Toyota's, etc. running around on our streets. Time seems to dull the general populace into complacency. I totally agree with you about keeping the memories of those days before the public. History tends to repeat itself if we just leave it alone. I've recently even seen articles of Ted Turner running for President! Not that in itself isn't so bad; I just don't want Hanoi Jane as first lady. I remember very well what we all felt when her picture was broadcast all over the place. We couldn't believe we could have men dying around us and there she was smiling and making it seem like it was all a waste of time.
