Don't remember events - and I guess, in the USA it is a little more in tune with the people, but many hundreds and thousands every year forget the 11th of november, throughout the Commonwealth - or VE day, VJ day, Holocaust day - let alone forgotten raped colonies from Afghanistan to Iraq to Cambodia to Honduras.

Remembering battles is futile, remember the glory and the honour, valour of those men who laid their lives throughout modern history to oppose tyranny. Promote yourV Veterans Day, march with the band, make a donation, or buy a poppy in the UK. Anything, visit a memorial and see for yourself mans true spirit. Pearl Harbour is a TINY tip of the iceberg.

it would be truly sad for anyone to forget those who die in conflict, usually at the will of others, servants til the end, truly... as the quote goes

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends"
