On Dec. 7, 1941, the Empire of Japan launched an air raid on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as well as targets in Malaya, Hong Kong,

Guam, the Philippines and Wake Island; the United States declared war against Japan the next day.

I get a daily trivia question. Today's question was about the day and time of the attack. 16% of the people answering got it wrong even though the 4 possible answers only had ONE that was a Sunday.

I hope that the the ones that got it wrong are people in another country...

Probably not Herb. Most folks don't have a very strong historical recollection unless it's something they care about. WWII is ever present in our generations memories, but not as much for the general population below the age of 40. It was our grandfather's, uncle's, father's fighting in that war so it means more to us.
