"As dusk fell, blackout. No lights. In the darkness that night, broken only by tracer bullets streaking the sky, listening to dots and dashes, we finally slept, tired by the day's tension and afraid of future invasion." ---Joan Stidham Nist, Survived the attack as a child |
"We quickly ran out of medical supplies. We were in dire need of alcohol to wash off oil-covered wounds. We commandeered liquor from the officers' club - whiskey, rum, gin and vodka to wash wounds." ---Leonide B. "Lee" Soucy, Survivor USS, Utah |
