... A date which will live in infamy...

How many in here were alive on this date?

 

I wasn't.

16 years before me

Wasn't alive for it.  More than 40 years before my time.  But it's one of those dates Americans should know anyway.

My Parents weren't even alive, I think my Grandfather was 9? 

The PA announcer talked about this during a first half game break. All five branches of the armed forces were represented at the game. I thought the date is why our JAGS shield was at midfield instead of in the end zones today.

RIP Josh Hartnett. He died in Pearl Harbor.

And everyone else who died there.

 

When I told someone 9/11/2001 was the deadliest day in American history, he did not believe me because over 2,000 people died on 12/7/1941 - obviously forgetting Hawaii was not a state until 1959.

You're really up on your history. 

 

Hawaii was a US territory at the time of the Japanese invasion.  It was an attack on US soil.  Americans died.
