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.
