Ok...you want to hear something that is really hard for me to believe? On another forum I go to, I opened a thread asking for a moment of thoughtful reflection for those at Pearl Harbor that day. A little girl, aged 10 she claims, replies to my thread..."Happy Pearl Harbor Day".
Do the schools not teach that it is not a holiday that we wish to be remembered as "happy"? I live in OK now, and wondered if I opened a thread to remember the Trail of Tears, would another child wish me happy trail of tears day without realizing it is a solemn topic? It is sad that children today [most of them] do not realize the history behind the holidays and events in their lives. Maybe the schools need to get back to basics.....
