In terms of anti-Japanese sentiment, it's general strongest among older Koreans and some Chinese (for good reason)... but that has faded over time. Today, my anecdotal sense is that many Japanese think more often of Nagasaki and Hiroshima than any attacks or atrocities their country participated in. But that's more for native Japanese, as opposed to most Japanese Americans that I've talked to.</p> <p>My family didn't fight in the war (on either side actually)... so I don't have any familial guilt over any of this. I've read a bunch about the war though, as I can relate to both sides a bit through my family background. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pearl-harbor#post-1268511 Mon, 09 Dec 2013 02:57:01 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 1268511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been to Pearl Harbor and am definitely aware of the date. My Grandfather was in the Navy during WWII and also, Dec. 7 is DH's birthday! Poor guy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pearl-harbor#post-1267085 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 17:39:26 +0000 Mrs. Polish 1267085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: was it an issue for you growing up? I don't know what our age difference is, but I don't recall even knowing the depth of it until my college history courses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pearl-harbor#post-1267063 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 17:15:08 +0000 blackbird 1267063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm ashamed that I did not remember this date. i'm sure it would have come up at work, though. Most of my coworkers are veterans and a handful are old enough to have fought in WWII </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pearl-harbor#post-1266696 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 10:51:02 +0000 mrs. 64 1266696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remembered last night for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pearl-harbor#post-1266662 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 10:18:06 +0000 NavyRN2012 1266662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was the first thing on my mind when I woke up this morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pearl-harbor#post-1266621 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 09:35:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1266621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As soon as I read the post title I knew it was 12/7. I am better about remembering this when it's the work week and I have to jot the date down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pearl-harbor#post-1266620 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 09:34:16 +0000 mrbee 1266620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most Japanese Americans are aware of the date! I always laid low on December 7th as a kid, growing up,,, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pearl-harbor#post-1266600 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 09:14:55 +0000 MrsH 1266600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a big thing in my family to Remember the Day which will live in Infamy.</p> <p>I'm not sure many people in our generation give much thought to it.</p> <p>My grandpa was on the ship next to the Arizona.</p> <p>Are any historical events particularly important to your family? Did you know it was Pearl Harbor remembrance day? </p>
