Attached Link: The 6th of August
Just as we remember the [7th of December](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Pearl_Harbor), so should we remember the 6th of August. DPH

I have stood on Ground Zero of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki. A sobering experience.
August 6th, 1991 was the date that the World Wide Web debuted as a publicly available service on the internet.

IIRC, Milosovich made a speech made a speech recalling some centuries old crime against the Serbs to stoke the run-up to Balkan butchery. Every American of a certain age remembers Dec.7th but few know the date of "VJ Day". Texans still 'Remember the Alamo,' but San Jacinto draws blank stares. Funny the way people savor defeat in a way more than victory. - and usually in a way that fosters continuing resentments. We should remember and mourn the dead but we do so in vain if we fail to remember the human hatred, fear, greed and prejudice that put them in their graves. The problem is not that we forget but that we remember the wrong things.
