Honolulu, Hawaii
The Attack on Pearl Harbor
Time, and the progression of time, sometimes seems intangible. When I was born, people were still alive since the American civil war... so it didn't seem so long ago. Now it seems like ancient history. WWI was a fresh memory in which my grandfather was a soldier. WWII as a very fresh memory... my dad fought in WWII. Today, few are still alive that from WWII. Still fresh in memories, and not diminished by later wars.
WWII and the attack on Pearl Harbor.
A day that will always live in infamy.
Sadly... When talking to my grandkids about Pearl Harbor and World War II... I have to wonder what they are teaching in the schools.
They have no concept of anything.
I asked: Where is Pearl harbor? .... Answer: Florida?
Who bombed portal harbor?.... the Americans?
So, who got bombed at Pearl harbor? ... The Germans?
Where is HAWAII? ... in The Florida Keys? ... near Cuba?
Ok... Let's move on...
Which Countries in are North America? ...
North Dakota, North Carolina, North Montana and North Mexico.
I GAVE UP!
WORSE YET... THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN KNOWING.
THE WORLD WE LIVE IN... TODAY.
