That is to say, the memory value of Pearl Harbor has exceeded its
historic importance for the past 50 years, but is now declining
rapidly.


In their times, "Remember the Maine!" and "Remember the Alamo!" rang with
the same resonance that "Remember Pearl Harbor!" does now.

Of course, for our generation, they've *all* been preempted by "Remember
September 11th!"
