When I lived in HI, my boss was of Japanese descent, and his birthday was Dec 7th. I couldn't resist giving him a bit of playful but pointed "stick", as the Brits say, on his birthday. There were a couple of Veterans working there who still harbored some resentment.

I have to say, it is sad. Every year, anytime someone talks about a meeting on this date, I always use the line a date that will live in infamy. for over 10 years where I work now. I don't think a single time that anyone in those calls or meetings knew what I was talking about.

I got a couple of USS Arizona hats at the Pearl Harbor Museum in 1988, still got them. I wore one every December 7th until a few years ago. A lady (who I thought was old enough to know better, because I'm certainly too young for service on the Arizona, -14 years old at the time, Mom was 6) thanked me for my service.

What ought to be taught is there are many sides to a story, and "Pearl Harbor", and most of those sides have a bias, so take every viewpoint with a grain of salt.
Reading books are a good place to start.
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
