Nagasaki and Hiroshima and the Rape of Nanking are generally considered atrocities rather than military victories. They aren’t shameful or embarrasing to remember (for the victims.) Pearl Harbor was an early defeat in a war the US eventually won handily.
A better comparison would be if the US had a memorial to the time the British burned the White House during the war of 1812. Maybe they do, but if so I haven’t heard of it. I guess this is a test we could do!
