Hm, not that important of a date here in Europe and/but well known in

Concur. My generation in England knew about Pearl Harbor, but would have
to
go to the reference books if someone asked us the date. That would then
provoke the usual "late for that war too" comment.

Now, how many American 20-somethings don't know the date?

Most of them, unfortunately.

Just not *me*.

I just asked 3 girls in my office ages and answers below...

21..... "Pearl Harbor, but I only know because it's my anniversary."
30..... "Huh"
35..... "Pearl Harbor" She knew it from the movie.

None of the three could give me a year.
