December 7, 1941
I never will. And my kids know the significance of the date as well.
My uncle was onboard the U.S.S. West Virginia that morning. He was blown into the water during one of the hits on the ship and had to swim under burning oil to get away from the ship. To his dying day he could not go into water deeper than his knees without getting flashbacks. They had a pool at their home but he never went in.
On the other hand, I was talking with my nephew the other day and he'd never heard of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo that happened just a few months after Pearl Harbor. Unbelievable!
