Pearl Harbor 75 years later

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

Today December 7 2016 I was reading a book while eating lunch as I often do. The waitress inquired about what I was reading & my intrest in terms of subject .
I replied "history " & had a thought. I asked her if she knew the significance of todays date.
She did not. I asked if they had mentioned Pearl Harbor in history class to which she replied they had not though she seemd to have some vague notion of where it was.
The story of Peral Harbor is such a perfect lesson in the results of complacency & the power of forgivness how can a child graduate high school not nowing the significance of 12/07/1941.
It seems to me the ultimate infamy is the failure of our education system.
