I had a question. 'Why does the name Pearl Harbor sound so familiar?'The lieutenant colonel's eyes narrowed. 'Pearl Harbor is the most famous U.S. military base in the world,' he said crisply. 'It's the only place on U.S. soil that has been attacked in a wars, since the Revolutionary War.'None of this was ringing a bell, but you already know I'm totally uneducated. Gazzy leaned over to whisper, 'It was a movie with Ben Affleck.'Ah. Now I remembered.

In this excerpt, a character questions why the name Pearl Harbor sounds familiar. The lieutenant colonel explains that Pearl Harbor is the most renowned U.S. military base, known for being the only U.S. soil attacked during wartime since the Revolutionary War. His explanation emphasizes its historical significance in American history.

The narrator admits to not knowing much about Pearl Harbor, but others help jog their memory. Gazzy humorously mentions that Pearl Harbor was depicted in a movie starring Ben Affleck, which helps the narrator recall the connection to the historical event. This highlights how media can influence memory of historical facts.
