"Jap aircraft were making strafing runs on the hapless sailors. Since our guns had been covered for bombing practice the week before, we could not fire back. At the first lull, I swam for shore, seeking refuge in the pipeline ditch." ---William "Bill" Hughes, Survivor USS Utah |
"Suddenly a violent lurching shook us all, tossing us around like so many unmuscled puppets. The ship seemed to rise up a foot and then settle back. Allan grabbed at his earphones. 'We're hit,' he cried. 'A torpedo.'" ---John H. McGoran, Survivor USS California |

Shortly after the attack on December 7, 1941 and America's entry in to the war, one of the first and the most classic World War Two patriotic songs was written by Don Reid and music by Reid and Sammy Kaye. The song, "Remember Pearl Harbor"; described as a "March with spirit", was based on the popular saying of the day and became an instant hit with the public. It was played by every radio station and enthusiasticaly sung at every social, family and religious gatherings across the country. "Remember Pearl Harbor", the song and the saying, went in to history as the quintessential slogan and battle cry of World War II. |
The Song History - in every century, records an act that lives forevermore. We'll recall - as in to line we fall, the thing that happened on Hawaii's shore. Let's REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR - As we go to meet the foe - Let's REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR As we did the Alamo. We will always remember - how they died for liberty, Let's REMEMBER PEARL HARBOR and go on to victory. |
