Thanks Jock for that reminder.
Over here its usually December 7th (Pearl Harbor day) we most remember, for obvious reasons 
Actually I had forgotten Sept 3rd, 1939, and ironically yesterday my 10 yr old daughter said something about WWII starting with Pearl Harbor, and I told her "yes, for us, but you must remember that for Europe the shooting started in 1939."
I find as we drift further away from the actual events, as the participants die off in larger numbers, that (over here) I just don't hear about Pearl Harbor, Iwo Jima, D-Day, etc etc in the media (etc) like I did as a kid -- unless a new Hollywood film is coming out, but then its short lived.
Jock, do you find that to be the case on your side of the pond?
