Randy Cabell asked:: However, given that THE TEN DAYS leave out Pearl Harbor and 9/11, can anybody tell me how the ten were chosen?
In my opinion, the answer is simple: Politics. Aside from two or three of the choices, the same ten would not have been on the list 20-40 years ago, nor will they necessarily be on the list 20-40 years from now. I can understand --but NOT agree-- with the list not including Pearl Harbor; too many youngsters have no inkling of it's import since it's barely mentioned in today's schools. But leave out 9/11? Has to be politics.
