Just thought it was important to get a jump on it, most will not remember this date as the time when a real war was declared, and Americans lost their lives due to an unprovoked, surprise attack.
I hate to think that we don't talk about things like this in schools because its not politically correct. My father was saved by a big bomb that saved possible hundreds of thousands of lives when the war ended and that is not talked about much ether. He was USMC at that time and had gotten orders just as the war ended that he was going to fight the Japanese, the irony in all of this is I married a Japanese American woman and when our fathers meet they had a lot to talk about because my wifes father was also saved by that same bomb because he had volunteered to fight that same fight but his farm land had been taken and they were living in an internment camp in southern Colorado but both men had love of country and recognize how important each person was. If we don't talk or teach this we are bond to forget and repeat this type of thing. It is to bad that are kids never heard their stories because they were the best generation ever and asked for nothing back.

Then you won't mind deleting your post like he deleted his and stick to the topic.
"...not discussed in most schools". Provide evidence to support this claim that the attack on Pearl Harbor is no longer taught.
Im 37 and the only time pearl Harbor was brought up when i was in school was around tenth grade. All they said is the japs bombed us and that was why we got involved in ww2.
