"What happened?"
At lunch last summer, I mentioned to a group of my interns (16-25 yrs old) that I was ticked off at what I see happening in my country over the last year. Two of the guys said "who cares" - the others just stared at their phones or looked at me, rolled their eyes, and said "nobody gives a c*ap, except old people".
That's what happened - and is still happening now.

I read somewhere today that there are only 12(!) Pearl Harbor survivors left and none of them were well enough to attend any ceremonies!

We came very close to losing the Arizona in the late 40s early 50s before it was declared a memorial site. The navy looked at removing the remains, along with what was left of the Utah, to clear mooring space since it was felt it was too valuable to leave it unusable by ships coming in.
