I'm going to go against the grain here.
I'm tired of the Pearl Harbor celebrations every year. Sure, I appreciate what happened. It was a pivotal moment in world history. But every year the people that were there got trotted out and held in the sun for a moment and they tell their stories, and then 365 days later it happens again.
Let's hold off on Pearl Harbor some year and do a Bataan remembrance. Or a Guadalcanal remembrance. Or a Peliliu remembrance. Or Tarawa. Or Attu. Let's give a little credit to the people who were in other places at other times, and not continue to give all of the glorification and attention to the same people every year.
Okay, you can kick me out of the country now, but I had to say it.
