"We had a meeting of our Pearl Harbor survivors group the other day, and everybody agreed that it was just the luck of the draw, whether you got killed or whether you survived."
---Leroy Kohntopp, Survivor, USS Maryland
"Feel the heat from the burning ships, you can feel the heat way out here in the channel, and look up on the bridge, leaning out the window, our executive officer. He's looking at the battleships and he's crying. I see the tears on his cheeks.  I'll bet some of his friends are in those ships."
---Norman Robarr, Survivor  USS Trever
"We could see dozens of black specks that were airplanes circling, diving, and rising again. It was an impressive and fearsome ballet, even to someone as young and naive as I.... A small bomb fell across the street, making a crater in the lawn. A Japanese plane caught fire and exploded in midair. Some of the pieces fell nearby. I still have those items, 60 years later."
---Gordon S. Riess - A high school student in Honolulu
